| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 森林學系 === 83 === Traditionally, water color paper was made by forming the
dispersed cotton fibers on a mold (or fram), which allowed the
water to drain away, leaving a sheet(>300g/㎡) of felted
fibers. This wet sheet was then put on a high-roughness felt,
to which it is adhered. And then pressing the wet sheet to form
a rough, thick and absorbent water color paper. In case of
water color paper was made from durable fibers with optimum
water absorption and attractive coloring strength, it finds its
admirable use in painting and sketching. A high-grade water
color painting is mainly used for artistc appreciation and art''
s interest. Unfortunately, we are unable to make a high-grade
water color paper, so expensive imported one''s, e.g. Arches
(France), Whatman(Britain) are very popular for the
watercolorists in Taiwan. In this study, we intended to make a
high-grade water color paper by handsheet-making techniques.
The best formulations for a high-grade water color paper are as
follows: *Density:0.5-0.6 g/cm3 *Water absorbency:>28 g/㎡(cobb
test) *Roughmess:higher roughness make the color paper readly
to *Brightness:high brightness makes the color moer brighter.
*Colored pigments should properly level on the paper surface.
*Permanence:alkaline sized and cotton-containing color water
paper shows the greatest permanence.
