Paper
Western watercolor paper
Watercolor paper is a type of paper that is specifically designed for use with watercolor paints. It is made from a blend of cotton and wood fibers, which gives it a high absorbency and a smooth, even surface.
Chinese rice paper
Chinese rice paper is a type of paper made from the inner bark of the tallow tree. It is a very thin, delicate paper that is often used for Chinese watercolor art. We only use the highest-grade rice paper.
Silk
Silk painting is the art of painting on silk. We use 100% silk panels for this type of artwork. It is a traditional art form that has been practiced for centuries in China. Silk painting is a challenging art form, but it is also very rewarding. The silk fabric is very delicate yet easier to preserve and can last a very long time. Silk painting also requires a variety of special paints and brushes.
