Description
Gampi Smooth #43 Japanese Paper
As the name implies, this paper has a lovely, smooth surface and the characteristic gampi sheen: absorbent yet crisp for printmaking, calligraphy, collage and drawing. It has a natural sizing, restricting the amount of bleed when written or painted on. Papers made with Salago (Philippine gampi) make an affordable option for someone wanting to explore the gampi for the first time.
Formed in a larger sheet size than Classic Kitakata, Gampi Smooth, is exactly that, smooth with a slight sheen. Also, warm toned, with darker flecks, the surface holds detail very well. If you are drawing with pen or printing intaglio, Gampi Smooth is a great option.
