Yasutomo Mineral Paper Multi-Media Artists Pad, 11 x 14 inches, 20 Sheets (JMP400)

There is something magical about this paper.A synthetic paper suitable for alcohol inks, pigments, acrylic inks and whatever you can dream up. All marker and artist quality pens that I have used for linework glide beautiful. I have used light sprays of spray paints and nearly all mediums on this!Because this paper is made from ground stones and minerals there is a slight shimmer which produces a more vivid alcohol ink and it is breathtaking.I have recommended this paper to multiple artist who have had pieces win gallery showings using this substrate.It is truly in a league of its own.The company is wonderful - very friendly and supportive in all art mediums. I enjoy using this product and recommend highly without hesitations. The large pieces can easily be cut in half with a paper cutter to double the amount of an already VERY reasonably priced substrate.

Arrived very quickly, perfect condition, no problems. I was able to use liquid inks, liquid watercolor, and high flow acrylics on this paper without any buckling.

Doesnt grab the silverpoint as much as i had hoped. Possible im not 100% on technique so gave it a 4 as it does seem well made and presented.

I use this for watercolor - very interesting surface that never buckles but can handle most watercolor techniques.

I’ve purchased this many times before and never had a problem but this last pad of 11 x 14 inch is repelling water which is not what I want it to do, it’s the complete opposite of what it usually does. Customer service at Yasutomo was great but I felt I should have been refunded or sent another pad. Their suggestion to alleviate the problem didn’t work for me.

Beautiful texture and a dream to use.

Very thin and smooth. Works fine for watercolor, but not for colored pencil.Doesn’t erase, so can’t remove line art and can’t use the subtraction method with scotch tape, kneadable eraser or slice tool to remove pigment for highlights.Doesn’t take more than a few layers of pencil, so can’t get any depth of hair/fur, and can’t blend colors.

I used these for a fun art project using acrylics and inks. The paper remained sturdy and was a good thickness. I would have liked to be able to get it in a bigger size. When my paint and inks dried the paper was flat with no distortion to shape or texture.
