Hiding beneath its apparant simplicity, 1557® is a rather sophisticated paper. The grain is neither too smooth nor too prominent, providing a subtle surface perfect for sketching, drawing and other dry techniques.
This paper is ideal for precise technical drawings with graphite or coloured pencils. 1557® paper retains pigments well and allows unlimited shading and gradients.
This bright white paper is designed to accentuate contrast and allows colours to really stand out.
Both surface and internally sized, 1557® paper offers a remarkable resistance to repeated erasing without degradation.
"I find this paper best for creating images with very fine details as it has a very fine grain.
It also alllows me to create a very smooth, seamless solid background as the graphite can glide along the surface because this paper retains pigments so well, along with its extra white base - I can create beautiful high-contrast black and white works which really 'pop' off the paper.
Again, this paper really holds up to repeated earasing without any damage.
An overall wonderful product which never disappoints."
