Fabriano - Tiziano Drawing Paper
Tiziano Drawing Paper
Heavily textured cotton paper grips charcoal for bold drawings
Forty percent cotton content gives this paper the substance and durability that serious pastel work requires. The heavily textured surface grabs and holds pigment, crucial when building layers of soft pastel or working with vine charcoal that needs real tooth to grip. Fabriano mills this stock to 65 lb weight, substantial enough to handle aggressive mark-making and fixative applications without buckling or deteriorating.
Acid-free composition ensures your finished pieces resist yellowing and degradation over time. The pronounced tooth accepts multiple layers of dry media, from initial sketches through final highlights, while lightfast colors maintain their appearance under typical display conditions. Twenty by twenty-six inch sheets provide generous working area for large-format compositions or yield multiple smaller studies when cut down.
This paper performs particularly well for pastelists who layer heavily and need a surface that won't become saturated after just a few passes. The cotton fibers provide resilience that synthetic papers lack, while the aggressive texture holds pigment securely enough that you can work vertically without constant dusting.
