Made from 80% calcium carbonate, Yasutomo Heavyweight Mineral Paper offers artists a sturdier alternative to wood-based paper. The bright white vellum-like surface is the perfect texture for waterbased and dry media. It’s tear-resistant, foldable, non-wrinkling, and won’t bleed through — even when soaked. Acid-free. – Yasutomo Heavyweight Mineral Paper – White, 11″ x 14″, Pkg of 20 SheetsMineral Paper Pad 240g, 11X14 20SHT –

Great paper alternative, made from calcium carbonate
After hearing about terraskin rock paper from a watercolorist friend, I decided to try this paper, which is also made from calcium carbonate. I love it!! I’ve tried it with colored pencils, pastels, watercolor, graphite pencil, ink, liquid acrylic, Neocolor I and II crayons, and gouache, and tried layering different media, like pencil and ink over watercolor washes. It is really awesome. The paper is very durable and smooth and handles wet and dry media equally well. It is somewhat absorbent, but not nearly as much as traditional watercolor paper. I was surprised by the way it took pastels, and the watercolor washes are amazing. This pad, 11 x 14, is 160 lb., a heavier weight than the smaller pads, which are 100 lb. I’ve also used mineral spirits to blend the colored pencils. I have not used heat or alcohol ink, so I cannot comment on that. It is definitely worth trying! I think this may turn out to be my favorite art paper.

Fun! Similar to yupo
Similar to yupo but different. I liked this much better than yupo. It has a soft surface with a little bit of tooth. I use watercolor and the paint sits on the surface. Fun! I want to experiment more!!

Very fun paper to use
This is wonderful paper to paint on with watercolors or alcohol ink. I love to experiment on it. I highly recommend it to artists to try it. I have made really fun cards and tags with it that came out beautifully. It cuts nicely and you can use double sided thin tape to cut it easily and attach it to paper and it looks beautiful on cards. It is a lot of fun to use.

Love the smooth feel!
Since I work in miniature, I always have my eye out for smooth papers. I love this Yasutomo Mineral Paper!! It works wonderfully well with Intense pencils and I just tried it with graphite…WOW! Super smooth application and no ‘paper texture’ showing thru. This example is 2.5″ square. Since I work in miniature this pad will last a good long time! Very happy!

Thin like yupo
I don’t like or dislike, it’s just different. I suppose I am mired traditional in what I like to use with watercolor. It does not buckle which is great. It does tear if you try to tear it. Great for collage work.

Stone Paper
I’ve been doing Sumi-e artwork for 6 years. I’ve been looking for different types of paper besides rice paper and I thought I’d try this! It does not absorb, but the ink acts way different and some interesting effects can be achieved.

Dieses Mineralpapier ist sehr teuer, aber ein wirklich tolles Papier, vor allem für die Aquarelltechnik bzw. Acryltinte. Da Flüssigkeiten nicht ins Papier einziehen, entstehen unglaublich tolle Farbverläufe. Prima!
