Each pack comes with a sample of the material to test on before you start creating.

Calf Parchment, otherwise known as vellum, was historically, the preferred choice for calligraphers and scribes throughout central and northern Europe. The most sought-after trait – the minute grain – is largely due to the small and tightly spaced hair follicles making the skin a good medium for detailed work, without needing to worry about much visual interference from the parchment surface itself. 

Calf vellum features a smooth, buttery surface that lends it to beautiful whites, creams, and marbled or spotted natural tones. The botanical preparation (single side) creates a smooth, glossy surface that is perfect for gouache and watercolor paints, as well as other types of water media. Pre-cut sizes can have the typical color range for calf, including off-white, cream, natural, and mottled. If you prefer one color range over another, please indicate in the additional notes and we will try to accommodate any requests.

All parchment is unique and will have variation. We sort as best we can to give you a clear understanding of what to expect. We appreciate your understanding.
