Cheers Paul… this is pretty thin paper at 80gsm, but amazingly strong and resilient - and it doesn’t bleed through either!

Very good ink sketch Alan. Something about using a pen directly on good paper. I did try a sharpened matchstick for a while but found it was a bit clumsy in my hands!

A great sketch, Alan.

I was always impressed with quality of this German made Hahnemuhle paper range, whether it's for drawing or photo paper for printing... As far as I remember, this was mostly recommended brand for art printing, as the photo paper was capable of showing rich blacks, thus the printed arts could be close match to the original drawing... Therefore I have no doubt you can enjoy making arts on this paper. Thank you for share Alan.

Thanks guys, appreciated! Art, this is slightly different paper to their excellent range of eco digital papers, I won’t be testing them out in my report.

Testing out a variety of eco papers from Hahnemuhle for some forthcoming features in The Artist. This quick scribble is on HEMP, and so far I've been really impressed with this range of eco-papers - I'll be writing a full report in due course. A5 80 gsm, Indian ink.
