"VERY fast shipping! I haven’t used it yet because I want to get one more package. I’m going to use it both for a small painting AND, Hot press western paper is more similar to Xuan paper that I use for traditional Chinese painting than the other types. And it’s MUCH more durable. I needed something besides delicate Xuan paper to keep a record of what paint chips I need, what they look like and also test mixes on before I use them in a painting. Not really a swatch book, I just keep the sheets in a file for those paints. Last night my tutor told me the hot press might be better for a very detailed, Gongbi style painting I’m doing. I’ve had to start over about 4 times because, unlike hot press western paper; you can’t mask, erase, lift paint or do wet on wet on the VERY thin & delicate sized “glass” Xuan paper. Thank you!"
