Recommended Media

• Inks & Fineliners: Excellent for pen-and-wash techniques where line precision is key.

Pro Tip

When working with heavy water washes on 200 GSM paper, we recommend taping the edges of the sheet to a drawing board using masking tape. This keeps the paper perfectly flat as it dries, ensuring a professional, warp-free finish for your final masterpiece.
