The Fabriano Watercolour Studio "Torchon" paper presents a "round" grain that allows obtaining pictorial results of particular effect. The paper is made with a valuable mixture of lignin free cellulose and cotton, it is acid free to guarantee inalterability over time. Produced with 100% of E.C.F. pulp (Elemental Chlorine Free), F.S.C. certified (©1996 Forest Stewardship Council A.C.) from forests responsibly managed respectful of environmental, social and economic standards. The sizing, both internally and externally, assures optimal absorption of the colours. Ideal for watercolour, tempera, gouache, acrylic ink and drawing.

The major development of inks in recent years has been the increasing use of pigments and acrylic resins. The difference between the dye-based inks and the pigmented inks are a slight reduction in colour intensity, but much improved resistance to fading. FW Artists’ Ink is an acrylic-based, pigmented, water-resistant ink (on most surfaces) in a range of 38 colours, all of which have either a 3 or 4 star rating for permanence. Such a high degree of lightfastness over such a range of fully intermixable colours makes them ideal for use by artists in the production of pictures for permanent display. Equally, however, colours can be substantially diluted to achieve the most subtle of tones, very similar in character to watercolour. Such washes will dry to a water-resistant film on virtually all surfaces and successive layers of colour can be laid over. FW Artists’ Inks work well through airbrushes and technical pens.

Khadi White Rag paper is made from 100% long fibred cotton rag. It is internally sized (with a neutral pH size) and surface tub sized with gelatine. This paper is acid free and made in India.
