[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]You\u2019re bound to know how it feels to stand, simply astonished, in front of the shelf containing all the beautiful artist papers in the specialist store, or to browse through the online dealers, wondering what paper you should get? What paper texture suits your subject? What\u2019s the difference between genuine mould-made paper and Watercolour paper? What are the differences between the various surfaces? What grammage should my painting paper have?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, you don\u2019t have to wonder any longer, because we provide answers to all these questions in several articles here on our blog. Why, you might ask? Because we\u2019re artist paper experts and produce artist papers to meet the highest demands using proven recipes with first-class raw materials \u2013 and have been doing so for more than 400 years. That\u2019s why our products carry the \u2018Brand of the Century\u2019<\/a> quality seal for German companies \u2013 and rightly so.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But why is paper so immensely important for your artwork\u2019s success? Before we go into the details, we\u2019d like to clarify this question. On some paper, even great colours don\u2019t shine, water and paints form puddles, brushes suffer and your artistic idea is tough to implement. That\u2019s what we\u2019re told time and time again by artists who organise workshops or painting trips as instructors. While it is indeed true that high-quality materials have their price, they certainly save you from disappointment and let even beginners explore their talent. So you shouldn\u2019t scrimp on paper!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We invite you to explore \u2018The wonderful world of artist papers\u2019 with us. In part one of the series of articles, we\u2019ll explain the production processes and the terms \u2018genuine Mould-Made Watercolour paper\u2019<\/a> and ‘Watercolour papers’<\/a>. The first article, \u2018<\/span>How are artist papers made?<\/span><\/b>\u2019, is here for you.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In further articles, we\u2019ll provide answers to the questions <\/span>\u2018What are artist papers made of?\u2019, \u2018What surfaces are there?\u2019 and \u2018What properties are important?\u2019. <\/span><\/b>You can look forward to finding out and seeing lots of interesting things because we wrote this series of articles together with the watercolourist Alona Hryn<\/a>, who diligently tested and painted on our paper.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″]
