Untreated thickened Xuan paper is a traditional Chinese paper renowned for its exceptional quality. Untreated, it perfectly absorbs ink and water, allowing for a variety of artistic effects, from precise strokes to subtle washes. Its reinforced thickness makes it more durable and suitable for demanding techniques, while retaining the flexibility and responsiveness of classic Xuan paper.
Ideal for Chinese calligraphy, ink painting, and watercolor, this paper is favored by artists for its ability to highlight ink nuances and transparency effects.
