To get a closer look on the papers in use, the artists Cesc Farré, Tanja from Cube.W3 and Rabiyat aka Rabi_Rabi have tested the new Natural Line for us and created small artworks on them. In the short videos you can see how the papers behave using each technique.

“My feeling about Agave is that is is very versatile for watercolor technique. The characteristics of the paper allows a beautiful colour flow. Colours do not get absorbed and stay on the surface for a long time. The paper is perfect for dry and wet applications “
Cesc Farré
Agave Watercolour
Agave Watercolour is a paper that is perfect for all wet-on-wet techniques. Bright coastal landscapes, but also shining streetlights at dark night can be brought onto the paper with strong colour gradients. Made with 70% agave, it is a perfect paper for environmentally conscious artists.
“After drying, the fibres lay down again. The colours and the drawing look like an art print.”
Cube.W3
“Agava is an excellent alternative to 100% cotton paper and is suitable for all kinds of watercolor techniques. Compared to other papers, the paints on it don’t lose its brightness upon drying.”

“I find Hemp Sketch is perfect for sketches and initial drafts with pencil or dry painting techniques.”
Cesc Farré
Bamboo Mixed-Media
The Bamboo Mixed-Media paper is the ideal painting surface, for strong colour tones such as a radiant sky blue with high contrasts and strong colour intensity, or for soft tones such as a glittering white of snow-covered mountain peaks. The bamboo fibres in the paper absorb much water making it perfect for a wide variety of painting, drawing and mixed techniques.
“Bamboo Mixed Media is very interesting for opaque painting techniques such as acrylic or gouache. Perfect for plein air painting as the paper supports very well the density and thickness of the brushstroke. “
