About HahnemühleĪt the same location for 436 years, Hahnemühle has produced traditional artist papers manufactured from old recipes from high-quality cellulose and pure spring water. Possibly a bit rough for fabric-tipped pens, as any textured surface would be, but I found no damage to mine after using them. The paper has a grainy texture and elegant feel that is good for almost any dry media, allowing layering and burnishing for excellent effects. Hahnemühle The Collection Sketch pad is standard format with glued binding. Just as a general caution though, I would expect any paper with a gritty or texture surface to wear down a fabric tip more quickly than smooth paper. I applied more pressure than I normally would.Īfterwards, I found no evidence of damage to the pen tips. Color went down evenly, brightly and without feathering, bleeding or skipping. It has an average tooth for cold pressed surfaces.īoth the highlighters and metallic brush pens used in this drawing have fabric tips, though the shape of the point was different-flexible brush, bullet and fine. The color is most intense because there is little tooth and the paint stays right on the surface. The hot pressed is very smooth, but still soft to the feel. It has a slightly gritty feel to it and you can get the widest range of effects with it. The cold pressed has an average amount of tooth for cold pressed surfaces. While definitely a rough surface, it is on the smoother end of rough surfaces. The texture of the paper is more likely to show in the finished painting. If you like paints that granulate, get that sort of pebbly look, this is a great paper for it. It’s easier to scumble, leaving color on the higher points and leaving the wells white (as in the flower pot above). The rough version of The Collection watercolour paper has just a little more tooth than the cold pressed. In fact, many stores don’t carry rough or hot pressed, which I think is a shame. The most common type of watercolor paper is cold pressed. Hot pressed is smooth, rough is … well … rough, and cold pressed is in between. The amount of tooth varies considerable among brands and types of paper. Paper has tooth – wells and higher points woven across the surface. The surfaces are cold pressed, hot pressed and rough. A soft edge becomes a lost and found edge when it’s difficult to tell where one color ends and another begins. A soft edge occurs when the colors blend, one color gradually becoming another color. *edges– a hard edge occurs when there is a definite edge between colors. On the other hand, it produces deep, intense color, and both crisp hard *edges and lovely soft edges. It didn’t take me long to adjust, but this may not be your paper if you prefer a high water to paint ratio or want to pour paint. You can get those effects, but you do need to be careful with your water/paint ratio. This affects blending, washes, and the ability to get really drippy effects. Given this and the stress on how strong it is, I wasn’t surprised to find it is fairly absorbent. This paper is available in sheets and rolls as well. The blocks are all 24 x 32 cm / 9.4 x 12.6 inch in size. The Collection Watercolour blocks come in two weights and three surfaces, for a total of six different blocks.
