Sumi-e painting evolved in the 5th century from Chinese calligraphy. The main subjects are taken from nature. In the 12th century Zen monks brought the technique to Japan where even today Sumi-e painting has a decisive influence on lifestyle. Translated “Sumi” means “black ink” and “e” means both “path” and “painting”. The style of brush painting is both a simple and yet highly aesthetic drawing made of powerful, mostly chasing and rapidly executed lines.

Patience and inner harmony are essential in brush painting to capture the spirit of the subject. Sumi-e is therefore not only an Asian painting technique but also a form of spiritual relaxation therapy and is becoming increasingly popular in Europe.

Recommended Paper For the first time Hahnemühle has developed a special paper for the Japanese Sumi-e painting technique that is capable of meeting the strenuous requirements of the Sumi-e technique. It is extremely thin but nevertheless absorbent and allows the water to flow further than the ink. This permits sharp outlines but also delicate drawings. The pen strokes are more visible. Sumie-e paper is available in pads and sheets.

Weight: 180 lb. – 270 gsm Shade: Natural White Surface: Smooth Media: Multi-Media Artwork With both internal and surface sizing, these papers have exceptional wet strength that supports the application of multiple washes. Similarly, just as the paper's sizing retards water absorption, pigment stays on the surface of the sheet. The result: remarkably glowing colour. Stillman & Birn bindings are equally rugged. The hardbound bindings - stiff when new - are designed to be broken in. The spines get eased in and then lay completely flat, accomodating both two-page drawing layouts and flatbed scanning. Bound in the United States, this sketchbook system offers artists a choice of three paper surfaces: • Vellum – distinctive tooth, suitable for all dry media, and will also accept multiple washes • Cold Press – Substantial tooth, enhanced wet and tear strength, suitable for multi-media artwork • Smooth – Suitable for pen & ink, coloured pencils, water-based markers as well as watercolours

This is a mini sample pad of Yupo Translucent Watercolour Paper available in pads and rolls. It contains 10 sheets of 153gsm translucent paper that measure 6.3 x 9.5cm.

Yupo Translucent Watercolour Paper will help you see colour from a new perspective. Its ultra-smooth surface is a great starting point for a variety of media including watercolour, alcohol ink, acrylic, monotype, offset printing, oil pastel, and graphite.

Yupo Translucent is a non-porous, acid-free, and pH-neutral synthetic paper which is machine-made in the US from 100% polypropylene. It is completely water and stain-proof and has become a unique alternative to traditional art papers due to its strength and durability. This paper resists tearing or buckling and there is no need to stretch or treat the paper before you start work.

The super smooth surface allows you to build up nuances and patterns that would normally be impossible to achieve on traditional watercolour and drawing paper. Because it can be wiped clean you have the option to return to specific areas and redo them until they meet your standards, or to build up layers of paint using a similar technique to the one used with oil painting.
