Excellent for layering
I love how this paper handles multiple layers of color without pillings or tearing. The soft mount surface is gentle on the brush tips.

Good but requires practice
The paper is high quality, but if you are used to standard white Xuan, the absorption rate feels different. It took me a few tries to get the water-to-ink ratio right.

Perfect for Gongbi details
The texture on this paper is exceptional. It holds the fine lines of my Gongbi sketches without bleeding, and the antique color adds a wonderful depth to my flower paintings.

Beautiful warm tone
The antique yellow tone is not too dark, making it perfect for bird subjects. The paper arrived flat and well-protected in the rigid packaging.

Authentic feel
As an instructor, I recommend this to all my advanced students. The 'Chu Pi Huang Ma' sizing provides the perfect balance for boneless style techniques. Highly recommended.

Great quality, slightly pricey
I am new to Chinese painting and found this paper very forgiving. The sizing prevents the ink from spreading too fast. Only giving 4 stars because I wish the A3 pack had more sheets.
Q: Can I use acrylic paints on this paper?
A: We recommend using traditional Chinese ink and watercolors. Acrylics may be too heavy for the fiber structure and could cause warping or cracking over time.
Q: How should I store these cards to maintain their quality?
A: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original rigid packaging or a flat portfolio case is best to prevent moisture damage.
Q: Does the A3 size come in a pack of 10 or 20?
A: The A3 size currently comes in a pack of 10 sheets. We offer bulk packs of 20 for the 8-inch and A4 sizes.
Q: Is the antique color consistent across all batches?
A: Yes, we strive for consistency. However, as this is a natural fiber product, there may be very slight variations in tone, which adds to the authentic character of the paper.
Q: Is this paper suitable for sumi-e ink wash painting?
A: While it can be used for light washes, this paper is specifically sized and textured for Gongbi and detailed work. For heavy ink wash, you might prefer an unsized Xuan paper.
