Description
The paper is called Lana Vanguard and is made of synthetic plastic. It is a very smooth, robust, acid-free, and tear-proof paper that is popular as an unusual non-absorbant watercolor paper. It is non-absorbant so it remains perfectly flat, eliminating the need for soaking, stretching, or taping. It resists tearing. Colors sit on top of the paper and take a bit longer to dry than with traditional paper, so many people use a hair dryer. When you are sure your painting is finished, it is recommended that you set it with a spray fixative.
The new Lana Vanguard paper from France is a synthetic plastic
paper similar to Yupo paper. This multifunctional paper is bright
white, very smooth, robust, acid-free and tear proof. It is very
popular as an unusual non-absorbant watercolour paper. With the
benefits of not buckling even with very wet paint, a very white
surface that makes colours brighter than on traditional watercolour
paper and the ability to wipe back to white, it serves
watercolourists very well. It is non-absorbent so it remains
perfectly flat, eliminating the need for soaking, stretching, or
taping. It resists tearing. Colours sit on top of the paper and
take a bit longer to dry than with traditional paper so many people
use a hair dryer. When you are sure your painting is finished, it
is recommended that you set it with a spray fixative. Use an
acrylic spray product that will not yellow with time. Spray your
painting outside or in a well ventilated area lightly from side to
side, then up and down. Use several light, even coats rather than
one heavy coat which could cause drips or puddles. Most people
prefer a matt finish to a glossy one. It is available in 200 gsm
weight in pads or in sheets. Other techniques that can be used:
acrylic, oil, gouache, ink, highlighter, crayon, coloured crayon.
