THIS is the video I was looking for! I was doing research because I wanted to use the correct paper for Kuretake watercolors and inks. Thank you again!! ❤
Thank you so much for this post! I wanted to buy some nice paper for my daughter, and this helped me a lot. Also, your painting is beautiful! I love how much life you get out of so few strokes, it’s magical to someone like me! 😊😊❤❤❤
Thanks! I might consider using rice paper for my art (very different from Chinese calligraphy), and I needed to know what to look for. Looks like "half ripe" is want I would need. Thanks!
My 2nd ex-wife gifted me a set of this brushes !!! and Ink such fun medium to paint!!! her I guested how a sonogram was goin to look!!! The most amazing part of the entire thing was that, Some how the Ultrasound technician manage to capture a frame with almost the exact prospective to the one my 2nd ex-wife and I made on paper and water color paints, Chinese ink!!! lots of fun!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Hello Kate, great informative video! It will be great to have shown the chinese and english of the 2 different type of the paper at the end of the video. Thank you.
This is wonderful to see! I just got some rice paper from Amazon - it was about 28.00 cdn for 70 sheets. I have not tried it yet. I was wondering- does one need to tape the paper down like in water color.
Thank you, Kate! This is very informative...I've subscribed! :) I'm just starting to learn Chinese inkbrush painting so the information is most helpful for me. Do you have a video comparing brushes as well?
Thanks for subscribing. Unfortunately I don’t have a video to compare brushes but there is an earlier video that I talked about materials and explained the two brushed I’m using. Perhaps I can talk about that again in some future videos.
Hi, very appreciated to see the painting difference between the 2 types of rice paper. I think the raw paper you tested is not a good quality one, have you tried 特種淨皮生宣? it is a better quality of raw paper and the ink absorption (墨韻)will be better than that one.
Thanks. I only use half-ripe rice paper. The other paper is for demonstration only because someone asked if there’s any cheaper alternative. So I just randomly picked some from a stationery shop.
I was wondering what is the benefit of using Chinese rice paper that has a "plastic-like" coating on one side? I did not realize that I had bought it. But now I have it. (10 June 2023)
We don’t grade the rice paper by weight like gsm. Rice paper was classified by the water absorption level. The one that I’m using is medium absorption, called half-ripe rice paper.
Hi Kate, I'm looking for a sized rice paper for gongbi painting style, so a rice paper where the water and watercolour doesn't bleed outside of the drawn Chinese ink lines of the painting. Are there any recommendations you could share? Thanks!
If you don’t want the watercolor to bleed easily, you may consider half-ripe and ripe paper. Paper is tricky. There are many kinds and brands. You just have to try it out. Besides, thin papers tend to be more raw.
If you meant frames a in matting, doesn’t matter. You may use regular cardboards and it will look nice. However you will have to have the painting in rice paper mounted (backed) on another piece of rice paper (cheaper ones) first to make sure that the painting is straight and sturdy .
@@KateWuArt I want this better quality paper from the red star, doesn't have to be this brand as long as it will not be too thin but I can't find any worldwide online shop offering it.
@@emila732 oh… okay. It’s difficult to shop because it’s too bulky. I am looking at cut paper in reasonable size that’s shippable. Will keep you posted when I found some.

Thank you very much for useful information, very difficult to find in English language.
Thank you very much again.
Thank you for making this video. It's difficult to find information like this without understanding Chinese

My best guess is that it’s being mounted on something. Perhaps it’s a different purpose paper. You may try to paint on it and see what it looks like.
Is there a specific side of the paper you should paint on?
@@black_tree_designs2360 You should always paint on the smooth side which is the right side.
Very educational

Thanks for the information, very useful! What type of paint is the colour?
I am using traditional color pigments which are made of mostly natural materials and in chip form.
Can you grade the paper by weight as with water colour paper, thank you.

@@KateWuArt Ok great, thanks for sharing Kate!
Do you have any recomendations for framing paintings on rice paper?
If you meant frames a in matting, doesn’t matter. You may use regular cardboards and it will look nice. However you will have to have the painting in rice paper mounted (backed) on another piece of rice paper (cheaper ones) first to make sure that the painting is straight and sturdy .
Nice Indo
