Soup Ladle
Is handmade 25 weight paper thick enough for charcoal, watercolor, pastel, pencil, pen…etc art?
I’m looking to do a bit of drawing and possibly small paintings was wondering what paper is best for mostly sketches and charcoal but occasionally watercolors or paint.
The paper I am looking at is handmade standard 25 weight paper, about the same thickness you find in most copy machine paper.
It is 100 percent recycled materials. The paper is 100 percent cotton rag, waste cotton from a t-shirt factory. Fabric scraps are shredded with a cutting machine and mixed with water until the slurry mixture resembles potato soup in appearance and texture. The slurry is ladled onto a screen with a framed edge so that the paper/water slurry will not spill. The water sinks through the screen mesh, leaving only a cotton sheet. This is hung up to dry and cut to size. Some papers have other fibers pressed in, such as flowers, straw or herbs. The imprint of the screen is clearly visible on the paper.
That paper seems sturdy to me with an old-fashioned feel.
Where it might be fine for a charcoal drawing or sketch, pencil or pastel, it wont hold up under watercolor, it will swell up in the wet areas and when it dries, it will be catiwompas and you won’t be able to press it flat…..Now, you might get away with using a paper of 65 lb Weight but not 25 lb…….By the way,….Poundages are calculated by stacks of paper of 500 count…..in other words, if that paper was stacked in a stack of 500 sheets, it would weigh in at 25 pounds so I think you might ought to check to see what the actual paper weighs in at cuz I’m betting it’s heavier than 25 lb……..Watercolor rag should always be at the very least 40 pound and hot pressed as opposed to cold pressed……cold pressed refers to a paper that has dried without the aid of heat…….hot press is usually a paper that is pressed by rolling it between hot rollers “per sheet” or is rolled on one roll or very long sheet…….that is then cut to size and put in stack and then banded together between plywood and left to cure.
