Description
This is a description of a single sheet of Hahnemuhle Ingres paper, which is 48x62.5 cm in size and has four deckle-edges. The paper is in the colour brown.
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 Brown.
