This is a watercolor paper produced solely by traditional methods on cylinder presses, giving it an even texture. The cotton fibers are evenly distributed, making the paper's structure more stable and resistant to deformation. It is coated with a layer of natural gelatin, allowing it to be stretched without the risk of tearing. It also preserves the natural intensity and luminosity of colors, with the exception of paints, which have a natural tendency to penetrate the paper's structure. Original vintage condition.
