Twinrocker handmade watercolor paper is made from 100 percent new cotton and/or linen fiber and is archival and acid free as well as being tub sized with gelatine. Made by hand, one sheet at a time, the same way paper was made centuries ago, it is aesthetically alive. Consequently, Twinrocker paper is a beautiful and exciting surface to paint and draw on. Gelatine sizing prevents the paint from sinking into the paper, becoming dull. Instead, the paint remains at the surface, and the colors stay clear and bright. Each sheet is hand dipped in a tub of hot gelatine after the paper has been made and aged, repressed and loft dried. Twinrocker handmade watercolor paper is one of the whitest on the market, which permits the paint colors to remain true to their own manufacture. You'll also find that it is remarkably strong and reworkable, allowing the artist to lighten or remove paint. To distinguish Twinrocker Watercolor paper from other papers, each sheet is embossed with The Twinrocker logo in a corner.
This Twinrocker paper has a Feathered deckle, which is an exaggerated, decorative deckled edge which extends up to half an inch.
This paper has a slight surface texture and is the most popular. This Cold Pressed paper is normally two-sided; one side of the sheet having a little more "tooth" or surface texture than the other side. This design offers two choices and allows you to better fit the paper surface to the image. The Twinrocker logo is embossed on the more heavily textured side of the sheet which is normally considered the front. Most artists do not stretch this cold pressed handmade watercolor paper with tape or staples, as it doesn't buckle much when wet.
Because Twinrocker papers are handmade, they vary slightly in thickness. However, most handmade watercolor papers carried by Cheap Joe's Art Stuff are 200 lb. Cheap Joe's offers many sizes of Twinrocker Watercolor Paper, from 6 x 8" up to 22" x 30", including circles, squares, and long narrow shapes.
