Painting on Hemp Paper? - Hempa Paper Review

[@thejoydecision724]

What elegant whiskers for a beautiful kitty.

Super mighty whiskers! I felt like Canetti had a full "mustache" sooo long and beautiful. :)

Beautiful paintings on beautiful paper! ❤

Thank you! :)

This video was a joy to watch ~ I'd love to try the paper for mixed media

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thanks! I agree, mixed media is probably where it will shine. I'm really curious how I'd like ink on it... will probably get more just for the ink.

Papier aus Hanf, wie interessant! Testet Papier ist sehr wichtig. Die Katze ist auch schoen.

[@LanaGoesArt]

Indeed. I don't think there are many hemp papers for art out there. So I was curious. :) Thanks! The cat did the most work by being sooo pretty. ;)

Great demo, but the product itself is very interesting too. I hope when they establish the brand more the producers could fix the sizing problem, maybe for a higher price. I dont mind blooms but I hate when I paint and the dots appear. If i ever see them in Poland I'll be sure to check it out! Thanks for lovely review

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thank you! I agree, better sizing would probably fix the issue with blooms and the dots/liftability - if that is even a word. I think so far they sell mostly through their site. But I'm considering getting a pad for my work with ink next time. I like how thick it was. :)

I'm binging your videos. Thank you so much for the very valuable content. I love your art and your love for animal paintings. I'm determined to make it back to your first video! Been watching you all day yesterday and today and I can't get enough! Not to mention your obvious kind personality and your nerdiness for art!

[@LanaGoesArt]

Thank you so so much! That means a lot to me. Thank you! You made my day! :) And yay! art nerdiness - there's nothing better, right? :D

[@ArtByElle]

@@LanaGoesArt there's no other way! ❤️

Next time when Gerstaecker (we have a Belgian branch too) has a paper sale I might try the Hempa. I have the painting from Canetti (demo here in the video) in my hands and I can feel and evaluate from touch and look but I would love to try it myself. You're probably right (I too will probably love the cotton paper best), but I love to try new things and hemp is used now for such a different array of things... It IS better for the environment than woodpulp for sure (and I don't like woodpulp at all to paint on). I have a small pad of bamboo from Awagawi which I wanted to try (and I like that too, it behaves imo very nice but I only did watercolor). So yes, love to experiment with paper and by now I probably have already too much paper for the rest of my life 🤣. Thanks again for having Canetti a model / reference for your video. We are very proud for his appearance. You made him a little celebrity (he thinks 😺😻😻😻)

[@LanaGoesArt]

Aww he's totally celebrity-worthy! Adorable, well behaved, cute and kind! It's the best kind of celebrity! The paper feels nice ideed and I'm really considering using it for ink more often and the thinner one (that is not reviewed in the video) for sketching with pencils. Cotton still behaves better for watercolors, but as you know, I use other media too, so it could be a good switch for those for environmental reasons. I'll post the test images in high resolution on Patreon soon. :)
