These sheets are one of the loveliest in the world today. The 400gr (180lb) weight is heavy enough, expecially in the smaller sizes, that they do not require stretching. Stiff sized with a surface that will take even the harshest painting attack. The texture of the sheet is considered in handmade paper as cold pressed although the surface will be a less mechanical and therefore a bit rougher than a mold made sheet. Often one side is smoother than the other and because they are handmade, no two sheets are exactly alike. Four deckled adorn each sheet and are available in a variety of sizes in natural white and unique rag tan. You simply can't go wrong! Minimum 5 Sheets Assorted. (29x42" requires a minimum of 5 and is not assortable).
