MEGREZ Chinese Japanese Calligraphy Xuan Paper, Rice Paper Sumi Calligraphy Paper for Calligraphy Brush Ink Writing, Painting Without Grids 100 Sheets/Bag,13.4 x 13.4 inch, Shu (Ripe) Xuan

This is not expert-quality paper. But, this is the nicest student-quality paper that you can buy for an excellent price. When you are in the process of learning a new Chinese-Brush painting technique or working on a new subject, you don't want to use up your expensive paper. Yet, most lower-priced papers don't give you the absorbency or liveliness that this paper gives. And, if your "practice" piece turns out to be a masterpiece, I believe this will mount just fine for framing! I am very impressed with this paper!! By the way, I use the "raw" xuan which has the most absorbency and is the liveliest for Asian-style brush painting. Ripe or semi-ripe mean that they are less absorbent. Less absorbent paper makes it easier for Chinese Calligraphy but inhibits the ability to get lovely greys and wet-on-wet effects in your paintings.

I'm not qualified to speak on quality, I'm a brand new art attempter :) I found the price to be wonderful, so thought I'd try. I am not disappointed, rather- thrilled! For my beginning Chinese art experiments and watercolor, this paper reacts so nicely to paint. It allows some flow and also some absorption, seems a nice balance to my un-art-educated self.

The half raw half ripe Xuan paper is suitable for Kai She (regular script). My calligraphy looks much better when writing on such paper. I am very happy with the quality of this product.

I’m not a professional. It’s just my hobby. This is the first rice paper I’ve ever had to paint on. It’s exactly as you would expect it to be. Watercolor if not mixed correctly will bleed. It’s rice paper so it’s then. It’s a beautiful beautiful paper. Wonderful texture. Excellent for ink. I will buy it again and again

This paper is very interesting and absorbs my acrylic and ink beautifully. I do many pieces so the price is right.

there are wrinkles at the folded areas that can not be smoothed out even after weeks with weight on them.not professional-grade, good for practice.

Granted, this is the first xuan paper I have ever used. I am spoiled on Japanese Kozo, Okawara, Arches, Fabriano, etc etc. I needed a paper to use for traditional Chinese rubbing, and this is NOT it. It is essentially the consistency of tissue paper for gift wrapping; it tears at the slightest stress because the fibers are very short, and any ink floods the paper like mad.UPDATE 8/14/20: I've used this paper for several rubbings, and there is definitely a learning curve in using it: how wet your ink should be, wind and temperature considerations. And while it does rip extremely easily when wet, and has a narrow optimal tolerance for ink, it really is a good deal for the price. I would recommend it as a practice paper

Good price for practice Chinese brushes painting xuan paper. After my order, the price went up!

Just gave this rice paper a try for mixed media /art journaling. Find it quite nice to work with. Bit more to it than tissue paper and yet still fades into the background when adhered with matte medium. Tested with a fountain pen and the ink didn’t even bleed through to the back- amazing. Will purchase again.

MEGREZ Chinese Watercolor Practice Chinese Japanese Calligraphy Writing Sumi Drawing Xuan Rice Paper I purchased the Shu (treated) version. It is exactly as it should be. Does not bleed ink at all. I even wrote on it with my fountain pen and it didn't feather. Good for beginners learning Chinese brush calligraphy.

A bit more like paper towel than paper. And they suggest keeping in moth balls. So although it may be useful for a few collage projects not the paper I was expecting.

Buena calidad,la gente comenta mal,es ignorante y no investiga depende si es de crudo a Maduro en su fabricación,para que sea de detalle la pintura o caligrafia o más espontánea.

This is the 3rd time I bought this product. The previous 2 were good. But this time the perper is much much thinner. Everyone can feel it at once. Ink is easily to be disseminated and penetrated. Make my performance much more difficult. I don't know how to deal with the remaining 99 sheets of paper.
