lana vanguard synthetic paper pad 200gsm

The new Lana Vanguard paper from France is a synthetic plastic paper, 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.

Lana Vanguard paper is also great for acrylic, oil, gouache, ink, highlighter, crayon and coloured crayon.

200gsm 22 x 32cm Pad (10 sheets).


ABOUT HAHNEMUHLE
Since 1584, Hahnemühle’s papermakers have been proving that they superbly master the old craft: uniquely beautiful papers are created from pure spring water and first-class pulps, the same today as over 400 years ago. In the beginning, hand-made vat papers were made, and today traditional recipes are still used to make papers which enthuse painters, graphic artists, illustrators, bookbinders and, more recently an increasing number of photographers.

Hahnemühle’s Traditional FineArt Collection offers the right artists’ paper for each technique: for watercolour or acrylic painting, for sketches and pastel drawings, for charcoal, red chalk or oil paints. But Hahnemühle paper is also the first choice for various printing techniques, for restoration and highquality book-binding. Apart from a wide range of different grammages and surfaces, Hahnemühle also offer papers with classic watermarks and real deckle edges.

All Hahnemühle papers are acid-free, lightfast and extremely age resistant.
