That's rad. Can someone explain to me what is velour?

[krisspitt]

Hi,

Velour is produced by a company called Hahnemühle in Germany.

It is a wonderful paper made up of synthetic fibers which makes it look and feel like velvet.

It is my prefered paper for my animal artwork as it gives a soft appearance to the fur or feathers.

However, not all artist like this paper as it can be difficult to work with.
