Ask an Expert - Forum > parchment and colored pencils

Would your parchment paper be suitable for colored pencil work? I am intrigued by the look of this paper. Also, is it archival? Thanks for your help.

The Pergamenata Parchment paper is a hard mottled (smooth) paper which is ideal for pen & ink or calligraphy. The lack of surface texture does not make it an ideal sheet for colored pencil. If you are looking for a warmer or tinted paper ideal for colored pencil, we suggest trying Stonehenge in fawn and kraft.

Pergamenata Parchment is a acid free, pH neutral sheet which makes it archival. Like all papers, you want to avoid exposing the paper to direct sunlight for an extended period of time. The UV light from the sun will deteriorate the paper and can cause yellowing.
