Pith paper is a delicate, fibrous material traditionally harvested from plant stems in southern China. It possesses a velvety texture that absorbs opaque water-based pigments with exceptional brilliance. Because the material is exceptionally fragile, these historical sheets demand careful handling and specialised framing to prevent crumbling.

How do I distinguish gouache from watercolour?

Watercolour is transparent, allowing the white of the paper to shine through the washes of diluted pigment. Gouache includes added chalk elements, making the paint opaque and enabling artists to apply light highlights over darker tones. Under magnification, gouache displays a matte, chalky surface texture rather than the crystalline pooling typical of heavy watercolour.

Are these paintings original works?

The listings feature hand-painted original artworks rather than modern mass-produced prints or mechanical reproductions. Each brushstroke reflects the direct hand of the artist working with pigmented mediums on paper supports. Signatures, studio stamps, and distinctive paper textures further authenticate the unique nature of these historical pieces.
