Hahnemuhle Ingres Pastel Paper (48x62.5cm)(Single Sheet)(White)

Named after the famous draughtsman Jean Auguste Dominique Inges (1780-1867), this deckle-edged paper is produced on a cylinder mould. This gives it a fine-ribbed, toothy surface which is suitable for a wide range of dry media such as pencil, chalk, Conte crayon, pastel and red chalk.Ingres paper is also known as 'laid paper'. The surface of each sheet has a faintly ribbed texture, perfect for holding graphite and soft pastel colour. This surface is characteristic of the traditional hand-made papers of the pre-Industrial age, which were formed in sieve-like moulds of wire mesh which left impressions on the surface of the paper. 'Chain lines' are thicker and widely spaced, while 'laid lines' are thinner and closer together.This is a single sheet of Hahnemuhle Ingres paper measuring 48x62.5cm. It has four deckle-edges and is in the colour White.
