Fabriano Artistico uses cotton balls, as opposed to stretched and beaten cotton fibers as in other brands, for consistent and even water absorption across the surface. This construction also gives for a stronger, more durable surface that can take a lot of punishment, whether it be scrubbing, erasing, or any number of other common watercolor techniques.
No animal by-products are used in sizing. This procedure produces a more consistent, non-yellowing, non-smelling, more resilient non-scuffing surface that has no blotchy spots with an overall superior color-lifting response.
