Review on 📜 Pack of 10 Egyptian Papyrus Paper Sheets 12x16in (30x40cm) - Featuring Ancient Alphabets - Ideal for Art Projects, Scrapbooking, School History, and Teaching Aids - by CraftsOfEgypt by Kelsey Brown

This papyrus has a beautiful light color and a fine grain. It has a natural texture, so it's not as smooth as modern paper, but it's great for artwork. I've experimented a bit and found that the best pen for writing/drawing is the bamboo pen, which is probably the closest thing to a traditional reed pen. I used Speedball Superblack ink, but almost all inks work. Metal-tipped dip pens tend to stick and leave a jagged line even when they don't, but the tip of a bamboo crayon glides right over the surface texture, which I'm sure old crayons did. The watercolor absorbs a little unevenly, but the same as on rough watercolor paper. It is an excellent art material with a unique natural texture and transparency that you know will last for thousands of years unlike many types of paper.
