Chinese rice paper for painting comes in many water absorption level, brands and sizes. The price range was wide too.
In this video, I have bought some "practice paper for caligraphy and painting" at US$5 / 50pcs for testing and compared it with the half ripe paper that I always use.
Please check out the close up detail of the two paintings towards the end of this video to get a clearer picture.
Painting materials:
Chinese Ink 月宮殿 (A Japanese brand)
Yellow color 藤黃
Orange color 珠膘
Red color 大紅
Happy painting!
