Paper: Handmade paper - Handmade paper is just that: paper made by hand. People create handmade paper by sifting pulp onto a screen and letting each individual sheet of paper dry. They also add dried leaves, flowers and threads to create different textures. Handmade sheets are lumpy, uneven and tend to blot easily.

  • Drawing paper – You get drawing paper in different types and different weights.
  • Gateway sheets – They are semi transparent sheets but thicker than a tracing paper.
  • Ivory sheets – they are thick white sheets used either for painting with poster colors, water colors or any other wet media.

Colored paper: Brown paper – They are usually used to cover books but the non-laminated ones can be used to sketch with colored pencils or dry pastels.
