Teagas Premium Sumi Ink Brush Set For Traditional Calligraphy And Painting On Rice Paper - 13.5 X 21 Inch Review

I've done western watercolor for a while, and I'm used to using really heavy, toothy paper for that. When I decided I wanted to try Chinese watercolor and discovered it would Chinese paint just didn't work out on western paper, I got this with trepidation.I was sure it would be too delicate and thin. But it's not! It's 100% perfect for Chinese painting. The paper is really thin, but it's also really strong. Additionally, you get a lot more than you'd think on seeing the package--because it's so

This paper really works well with ink and watercolor brushes. Already reordered more. Perfect for sumi-e. May require additional time and patience to achieve desired results.

Nice paper, will buy more again. Well made, perfect for practice and you can see tiny light lines which can help with calligraphy, they are not noticeable in art though. Paper holds up well to lots of water/paint. Mount on silicone back mounting to get rid of wrinkly look when art is finished. Someone made comment on this and its part of working on rice paper, really it will go away when you mount the rice paper and hot iron it. Youtube has videos on how to do this. This is a great paper used…

I purchased it for my dad's 82 years old birthday .it is so disappointed to see the paper . the paper quality is so bad that he can not white anything on it please do not treat your customer like this

if you are practicing suminagashi this paper is the worst choice!. it bleeds a lot, ruins your painting. i can suggest mulberry paper, or better sumi or calligraphy type of rice paper but stay away from this one!

as to be expected, the paper is very thin. slightly thicker than toilet paper. My issue is that it was delivered late and came folded and creased.

Instead of getting the product described, I actually received a calligraphy KIT instead. It came with brushes, an inkwell, etc. this is nice and everything but I still need the paper.

This will be my first time using Rice Paper so I can't speak to the quality with any knowledgeable opinion, but it seems to be a quality paper. It's stronger than I expected it to be. My reason for deducting a star is because 10 or more pages had folded edges making them less than attractive. The paper envelope it is packaged in is a pretty thick/quality and attractive sleeve but they might consider a different package to reduce damage. I have some mixed media ideas to use these pages so that…

This is half-cooked paper. Very thin. I wouldn't say its great for calligraphy, but good if you are painting and want the effect of ink running in th paper. I ordered 2 and its good for landscapes but not detailed painting. I wish it was thicker too

Arrived in good condition and appears okay, apart from some partial creasing on several sheets on top of set. I haven't tried using it yet. Sheets seem thinner than others I've used. Otherwise paper seems good. Good to have this size sheet.

Packaged flat in a inter-office like cardboard envelope. Worked well after I bought a piece of felt from Jo-Ann Fabrics. (Hint: newspaper does NOT work well!)

I got this for a Chinese calligraphy class, and it worked really well. I recommend using a felt mat underneath to get your characters nice and crisp.

Nice paper for Chinese calligraphy. It absorbs the ink well. It’s a bit thin, the ink went through and onto my table. Maybe my ink was too runny.

I guess for what it is, it is good. I suppose I was expecting something not soooo absorbent. It’s no good for regular inks That's my review.

The paper is ok but the envelope came with the circle to close (wing string around) is missing and flap is crushed.This is a Christmas gift.

I ordered this paper a certain length for a reason. Rather then rolled, as shown, it arrived FOLDED. I had to attempt to iron 100 sheets of paper so i could use it. Not okay. There was no time to return it, i preferred it for a lesson with my high school students.

Other reviews have mentioned this condition in which the paper arrived & some have said it was fine. Mine had been placed in the envelope where one corner on all the sheets was bent, & there was a crease right down the middle. While the paper itself is fine, it defeats the purpose if it has creases & folds. I purchased for replacing panels in a shoji screen but am not sure how I can use them now. I will try ironing w/ a special cloth & see.
