As a Croatian in Germany, I don't know why, but they make me so proud living here. Such a herritage of a company and really excellent paper! I didn't know for it for a year but when I was told by local seller in Kaiserslautern about it I just don't use other paper. Just ordered A6 format for winter dog walk sketches in a forest nearby. And proud of you promoting it as well, as I really wish more people knowing about it so they can avoid .. don't want to mention.. other companies that are in a price range by quality way off! My strongest reccomendation for even non cotton papers they make! You can even order personalised writing on a cover if you want! I will visit their factory in summer for sure! Tnx once again on a video and I like your sketches a lot
Hi Marti. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a New Yorker expat living abroad) and a subscriber to your channel. 5 years after it was created, EXCELLENT video, if not the BEST video I've seen on Artist paper, covering all (history, manufacturing, mixed media use, etc.). And... very helpful for us living in Europe. Hahnemuhle is considered an EXCELLENT paper for artists on this side if the pond and good quality for price, considering other high quality alternatives (cheaper than Stillman & Burns or Strathmore, for example). Even though 5 years have past and I come late to the party... THANK YPU for such a great content. Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎
Hi Jim - Thanks for the kind remarks about the video and Hahnemuhle. I love their papers and most especially their new 100% cotton sketchbooks. When I was a kid I spent a year living in NYC, near Brooklyn. I remember how cool the Subway was and Coney Island. Upstate NY is also a wonderful place with beautiful countryside. Last time I was in Spain, I was in Barcelona, on a beach and drinking Spanish wine (I was 19). Great to hear from you.
Now. THIS IS A REVIEW. What I mean is that this review is really complete and informative, Thank you!!! I didn't have to watch 10 videos for each type of paper.
I'm a photographer and I swaer by Hahnemuhle papers. Simply the best. My wife loves these water color papers as well. This video is well done. I learned even more about hot and cold press. Thank you Marty.
Thanks so much! Glad I saw this. I didn't know this much about the factory or the making of the paper. But, about 6 months ago I tried it...AND THAT WAS IT FOR ME!! I literally gasped when I put paint to paper. Extraordinary!
LOL - I'm german and when I heard how to "correctly" pronounce Hahnemühle I had to giggle. But thats ok. I love your vids they are very informativ. Thanks.
Ha! Ja, ich habe mein Bestes versucht. Es ist 30 Jahre her, seit ich in Deutschland gelebt habe. Mein Deutsch ist ein bisschen rostig. Ich werde daran arbeiten. :-) Danke fürs Zuschauen und für die freundlichen Bemerkungen - Marty
Hanna Mule! Hahnne Moooluh!!! Ha!. My beloved, late husband was Austrian, and I won The Shubert Competition in Vienna. I promise you I pronounce it correctly! :))
I love this papers and my favourite papers for photo ink jet work . Lovely selection to go with all kind of photography. Nice video and history about this product. Thank you for the share Marty !
i liked your review of the paper. i have not hear about before it was nice and you don't put me to sleep ha,ha. it's great to learn about new things out for artist. Thanks.
Hey Marty! I'm glad you like the Hahnemühle paper. I love it too, especially their watercolour sketchbooks and the drawing and sketching paper. They are my every day paper :) Many greetings from Germany Stefanie
Grüße Stefanie - Das ist wirklich tolles Papier. Ich frage mich, welche anderen Geheimnisse Sie Deutschen vor mir bewahren. :-) Danke fürs Zuschauen und gut, von dir zu hören, mein Freund. ~ Marty
Thanks, Marty, for the thorough review. I am a big fan of Hahnemühle...but had never the courage to them like you did. They are so precious! I also have the sketchbooks (in A6 and A5 size) and love them to paint in trips or in Plein air. Inhale not thought about ink on watercolour paper. Will give it a go. As you say, they think more the little things. It is amazing they have been making paper for over 450 years! Thanks for sharing and have lots of fun with all the beautiful papers!
Hiya Marty, what a super video my friend, thank you. I really enjoyed the bit about the history of paper making, fascinating. It was also great to see how the paper performed with you testing such a variety of media on it. It looks fab, especially that sketchbook...your art looks fantastic in it. I can definitely see why you're so taken with Hahnemuhle. Best as always my friend - Jane
Thank you for noticing the art my friend. I'm sure that when you see it everywhere on social media it gets a bit repetitive. This paper is really great and it's awesome in the sketchbook and watercolor format. ~Marty
Great, in-depth video Marty. It's also worth noting that Hahnemühle uses synthetic sizing. There are no animal products so the papers are suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian artists.
I wanted to try the Hanemühle watercolor paper and now with your review I am informed and ready to purchase. The only problem I have is I need ALL the paper and the sketchbooks too! Marty, I am always happy to watch your videos, keep up the good work!
I first learned of this brand when I went looking for interesting digital photo paper in 2006 for a class final and have loved working with there products since I'm looking forward to trying some of their watercolor papers thanks for sharing info on them...
Thanks so much for such an informative review of the paper. I'd heard of it, but had not seen it. Your video has inspired me to try it...I appreciate the help.
Hi Jim - Thanks for the note. They are just introducing it in North America this year, and the response has been great. I think you'll be hearing and seeing it more and more. ~Marty
I heard about these papers in the Wet Paint newsletter that I recently subscribed to. One thing I can say about products made in Germany: They build quality products. My first car was a Buick Opel. It is an American brand; but, it was built in Germany. It was a terrific first car. I wonder if I can find sample packs. Marty, I really like watching your reviews. They always are so thorough. Thank you.
Hey Marty, great review. I used the sketchbook and I love it. Also, I have 3 blocks of their Anniversary Edition and it's awesome! The paper it's so thick and it's great to pain on. Thank you my friend, have a great day :)
Owings Art Hey Marty, sorry for the late answer. This Hahnemuhle paper I talked to you about it's pretty comparable with Arches (didn't use a lot Fabriano, not yet al least). Plus it's thick, 200 lbs and it's enjoyable to use it. Have a great day, my friend 😊
Thanks for this review! Did I already mention that I love your reviews? Oh, and naturally, I am pleased to find that you like German products like these here, since I live there. Thanks, Marty! Oh, and by the way: I did not know about their post cards, I will check them out!
Deutsche Produkte werden immer einen besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen haben. Ich lebte einige Jahre in Deutschland und fand die Leute und die Produkte ausgezeichnet.
Thanks Marty, very interesting. I like knowing how paper (and paint etc) is made, the process and the way it reacts to different media ... will look on the website too later. Have a Hahnemuhle sketchbook myself and love the way it is put together which such attention to detail, the stitched pages and double page ... it is worth its weight in gold :). I'm in the UK so Hahnemuhle is widely available here. They are well known for their high quality photo paper too I think. Thanks again for the insights.
Thank you for this note Helene. I think you are lucky to live in place where it's affordable to buy this paper, it's got such great quality. Between Hahnemuhle and Stillman & Birn, these are the best out there right now. Hope you are well. ~Marty
I bought 2 completely new pads of both Turner and Cezanne secondhand and very cheap but I haven't used them yet, so nice to know a little about them before trying them out :)
These types of videos are particularly useful. I often see paper blocks and sketchbooks online but I have no way of knowing how they perform unless I see something like this. I will have to try these (when I get through my latest bunch of sketchbooks.)
Marty this was one of your best videos ever. The talk about paper making was so interesting, I really liked that. After I retired I started watercolor painting. I worked 35 years in the printing industry so paper is always of interest to me. By the way I went over to you web site and subscribed but did not see where to comment? I feel that the Hahnemühle paper is a very good chose and I will try it.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate the kind words of support. If you go to my website, just below any post, there should be a place to leave a comment. Let me know if you get stuck, I can help. Yes, I think you're printing industry experience would qualify you as an expert of the first order. :-) ~Marty
You, my friend, never cease to amaze with your insight and wonderful presentations! This is just great, and while I've heard of "Hannimule," I've never tried it. Now, it's on my post-holiday wish list (literally just wrote it down!). And I love that you mentioned the "Mark" of a quality-made paper (6:45)! LOL!!!! Thank you, as always! Great treat to see a new Owings Art video posted! :) oh, and thanks for the heads-up at WetPaint! :)
Marty, I love your you tube channel!! You have taught me so much and I really appreciate your review that I saw this morning about the paper! I have seen this brand and wondered about it! So learning was really helpful. I learned all about Legion paper from you too! Wow you really put that stuff thru it's paces!! Just know you are appreciated!! Cindy in Huntsville, AL I followed your blog today and tried to leave this comment there but it says "Comments on this blog are restricted to team members." Sorry, would love to try those cards!
Hi Cindy - Thanks for the kind remarks. I fixed the issue on the site now (thank you for bringing that to my attention). You should be able to leave a comment now. All the best and please keep watching. ~Marty
wow paper sizing... I never heard of that. Now I know why some paper feather more than others. I never really gave Hahnemuhle a chance, but I think it is going to be some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing, and making these high quality contents. What I find with buckling paper, it can take a few days to dry, and putting a bit of weight on it after it feels dry to touch will to flatten the paper too. Umm I'm kinda like a month late to stick to the end, but okay always good to know what I have missed XD
Thank you Chrissie. Glad you learned something new from this video, that's always my goal. Thanks for the note on the buckling. Much appreciated. ~Marty
Soooo jealous of your paper haul. Looks like so much deliciousness..... I bought a ton of that Legion stonehenge aqua, assorted! So I will get through that before I buy more.
These papers look amazing!! I'll have to keep my eyes open, see if I can spot these around here eventually! We don't have many options around here, or perhaps I need to pay more attention.... Thanks for this great video Marty, take care! :D
Thanks for the in-depth analysis of hahnemule(sp) paper. I like great paper because that can help your art look more like you intended it to.Thanks for sharing this video.
Look at that at 22:15 Hahnemühle Postcards your üh - pronunciation was perfect. :) Whatever. Thanks once again for an informative video, which I very much enjoyed.
HP Arches paper is expensive but one of my favorite papers and equal to Archers is the heavy workhorse paper from Hahnemühle and half the price, that is if you buy it in Europe, I don't know what it costs in the US. It is excellent with mixed media and is able to take a lot of beating. Inks, watercolor, acrylic and colored pencil drawings with white spirit for blending etc. it has never failed me. Thank you, Marty Owings, for your great intro to this paper, it sure deserves a place on the Art wall of fame.
Have you every used Stonehenge Aqua? It is another very excellent paper. I did a review on it if you want to have a look at that. It was fun and the paper was great.
No, but I am always on the lookout for papers, so next time I'm buying papers I will try it out. I can recommend another excellent cotton rag paper called Saunders waterford, both the HP and the textured, have you tried that one? but I have to say, it is on the more expensive side. thank you, Marty.
Your pronunciation was cute :>. And that's a very informative video, Marty. I love the postcards; they were my first experience of really well-made watercolour paper.
Marty, thanks for such detailed information, I’ve never used a nib pen to test paper before. So glad wet paint has been involved in carrying this paper. Take care! Essie/luv4art33 in West Texas.
Hi Essie - Thanks a ton my friend. This paper seemed to handle the nib pen no problem. I'm going to be using this paper quite a bit now, especially for finished work. Hope all is well in West Texas! ~Marty PS - I saw Chip and Joanna are going to be leaving HGTV.
I watched the video until the end, I did it mainly because many times at the end you show work by your friends etc. That was a cute idea to have the handouts at the end. Whomever you give them to, they will enjoy them. I know the Gaines are quitting, they are involved in too many things. Now they have a show for the carpenter Clint and his wife. Take care Essie.
Fantastic review! I've been seeing them in one of my favorite art store brands but I've never felt inclined to try them out and have always stuck with my usual papers. I'm gonna see if I could get my hands on these the next time I buy paper. Cheers from the Philippines :D
I love how much work and passion you put into this introduction to the company and it's papers and the amount of background information you put in. I personally love their papers, simply for the quality, even though they are on the pricy side. The only thing I don't like is the pronounciation. :D As a fellow german I have to say, that the way that it is pronounced in this video, for both the english and the german version, is completely wrong. That is most german's biggest pet peeve when a non-german speaker reviews products or companies with german names. The same goes für Städtler, Schmincke, Faber-Castell etc. The letters and their combinations basically dont exist in english. E.g. the ,,h'' makes the vowel before it longer. And Ü, Ä and Ö simply dont exist in english at all and is more common in languages like german or turkish (even though it's just ü there).
Dear Marty on a recent Podcat with Steve Yourself and Stuart (unsure of the name as only caught a piece of it a watercolorist and framer)Stuart mentioned that he uses matte board to draw on . I recently got a lot of board offcuts from my local framer and I unsure if it is matte board or mount board. My questions are 1.Is there any way to test if a board is acid free or not? I have seen some pens advertised but there are post that state that these pens are unreliable 2.If an unarchival board is primed and coated with a surface such as watercolor ground, pastel gesso, normal gesso can this make the surface archival? 3.Can I use a non acid free surface to mount canvas on?For example sticking the entire canvas down with acid free glue to the matte board? Will the non acid free matte board damage the canvas? 4.Can I use the non acid free surface as a mounting board to an acid free surface such as pastel paper or watercolor paper . Or will the watercolor paper, pastel paper be compromised from mounting to a non acid free surface . Please note I will mount with acid free glue.? 5. Can I use the non acid free surface as just a paper stretcher for canvas?
Hi Rhom - Hope this helps. 1. I don't know of an easy test. It's best to ask the place you got it from. 2. That's a good question. I suppose the surface would be, but the substrate wouldn't be. Interesting. 3. Depends on the non-acid free mount, but I would avoid this. Why take the chance when the acid-free is the same cost or a few pennies more in most cases. 4. Same as 3. 5. I think so. People think they need to use art supplies that are going to last 300 years. Here's the thing, after we are dead, if our art is worth anything, many places will hire professional conservators to, "fix" our paintings, mountings, frames and so on.
Thanks for the review Marty! How do the watercolor sketchbooks compare to the quality and stability of Stillman and Birn? Looks like I will need to get one. -Pete
Hi Pete - These compare very well. S&B are still my favorite, but these are pretty darn great and I'd say slightly better for pure watercolor. These are good books, very good books. ~Marty
Hi! Loved your video on Hahnemhle! It was both informative and educational!! I have been looking for a watercolor book and you nailed it! Great paper. Please review the 300 lb Leonardo . I want to buy it but have been unable to find a source. I went to your website to get the chance to get the watercolor post cards!!! I hope I have a chance! I am a retired art teacher and love your youtube videos! Thanks Mary Hobby
Hi Mary - Thank you so much for the note. I think we already have the three winners, however, if you contact Hanemühle, they may send you some samples to try out for free. :-)
Hello, Thanks so much for this great video :) It was really informative, moved along at a great pace, wonderful video and sound quality too! One question: What is the brand of pen you used to make a wash with on the first demo with the Cezanne paper? It appeared at 6:52 (3rd ink wash from the left). I'm definitely interested in the Hahnemuhle sketch books! So exciting! ~ Ruth.
Botanical painters are sick because Fabriano cold press watercolour paper is no longer made. How does this Hahnemuhle paper compare to Fabriano? Thanks
Hi Candice - That's something I didn't really touch on in the video, however I definitely think it is comparable or slightly better. I also like the Stonehenge Aqua, which I tested earlier this year. This really is first rate paper, excellent quality and cost isn't too bad considering the effort they put into this paper. Hope that helps. Have a great day! ~Marty
Hi Marty, Could you provide a valid Hanemuble web site. As the one you provided could not be opened. Where can we buy this paper or sketch book online. Thks From: Janet chen
I have a few Hahnemühle. I like it. I thought people didn't like this brand because it's cheap (also there are only a few reviews of it). Turned out it's just not that popular yet outside Europe (?)
Hi Char - They just introduced it here in the States this year, but it is gaining a huge following. It's a little bit expensive here for the sketchbooks, but worth every penny because of the high quality.
now that i tried to flashback, i purchased the watercolor book last year. it was an introduction price i think because the art shop i usually go to didn't sell it before (not that i know of). It's a high quality one but i may like stillman & Birn (i'm curious about this, will buy this one abroad because nobody seems to sell it here, except in Germany.) Hahnemuhle that i purchased costed around 10 euros.
Owings Art you won't be disappointed, that's how I learned about the paper. I went to a local paper digital print shop. They recommended this brand of paper for printing. It does soak up a lot of ink but the results are amazing.
Hi Marty - I feel as if I am stalking you! Truth is I have been drawing and painting since I was knee high but have never really 'looked into' all the products and their quality and various uses etc before - so, I am now using my time to rectify that with the excellent videos here - but really good teachers/reviewers are few and far between. You though - well you should be an art school teacher you are so thorough and dedicated to your task. So, many thanks for all your great videos - they will keep me busy for many months to come! I wonder if you have done a review on really good synthetic water colour brushes? Stay well. Never mind about the accent comments - I wonder how their accents/pronunciations sound to us?! Were you in Germany with the Army or Airforce by any chance?
Hahaha - Not at all. Heck I'd be happy to have a stalker..LOL. All kidding aside, I really appreciate the kind words and support. I did a review of a variety of natural and synthetic hair brushes a while back. Probably needs an update though. Yes, I was in the Army with a border unit called the Blackhorse Regiment. I was stationed in Fulda, Germany, about 100 kilometers from Frankfurt. I traveled widely in Europe when I was able to, but my duties kept me very busy. Thanks for asking. Marty
@@owingsart Well, that's interesting - my late hubby was in the RAF and Stationed in Cologne which he loved, even signed up for longer - that was before I met him. He said it did him the world of good and made him grow up! An update of artificial hair brushes would be good. I was reading about some called Rosemary's brushes which I must investigate . . I know Raphael are very good - and ProArte. Keep well
@@owingsart a ps - I just ordered some ProArte Sablene brushes - a set. They are a replica of sable to satisfy artists who want to avoid animal cruelty and reviews are great - will be interested if you're able to add to your update.
Great video Marty! 😁 I'm really interested to try the Leonardo paper. They sent me some small marked samples, I need to see if the Leonardo is in there. I did try to comment on your blog, but it wouldn't let me. 😢 I sent you some msgs on fb so you could see what is happening. I hope you are doing well my friend. TC! 🤗
I tend to use blocks and loose sheets in NOT/rough format as they have a good texture to then, they are up there with saunders waterford, arches & even hand made paper. like you said it's a robust paper that can take a lot of stick from the media.
Duh, just re read my note below. I should have said it is Fabriano hot press is no longer made. Apparently, Wet Pint Art doesn't have the Hahnemuhle in stock. Waaa
Alcohol marker on watercolor paper is usually not such a good idea. Not because marker don't work with watercolor paper. they do fairly well, but watercolor paper is a thirsty paper and shortens the life of an alcohol marker considerably. The paper sucks alcohol marker dry.
Hallo Silke - ich stimme dir mit dem Alkoholmarker zu. In diesem Fall war der Alkoholmarker auf dem Papier gut, blutete aber nur auf 140lb durch. Auf dem 280 Pfund Papier blutete es nicht durch. Danke für die Hilfe bei meiner Aussprache. Es ist 30 Jahre her, seit ich in Deutschland gelebt habe und mein Deutsch ist ein bisschen rostig. ~ Marty
I don't understand why you would say how Germans pronounce Hahnemühle because quite frankly you said it wrong. Informative deep dive into the paper, great video! Thank you for the efforts!
@@owingsart me complimenting your video is backhanded? What's wrong with what I said? It's a deep dive into the paper, it's informative and well made, I just didn't understand why you you told people how germans pronounce the brand name but yet did it wrong. It seemed so unnecessary to me that's all. Not sure now why you'd take offense to this
@@LeiliMana It’s all good. I pronounced it the best I could. I wish I had pronounced it better and in ways that others would have liked. That said, I appreciate you watching and for the supportive remarks.
@@owingsart of course! This was a very good video and very insightful and detailed! Definitely worth the watch, thanks for the efforts! Definitely didn't mean to be harsh or negative in any way 🙏
Well the pronounciation in german, do not forget the german umlaut ü. It is not ...muh-la. The way you pronounce the end of the word in english is closer to the way it is said in german.
ok away from all this pronounciation stuff- suuuper informative video and well structured (boy i sound like my german teacher) totally what i was looking for
My German is a bit rusty and it's been a long time since I lived there, but I gave it a shot...LOL. Thank you for leaving this nice comment and checking out the video, much appreciated.
and also because its the name its actually not pronounced differently in other countries ... there is just one way of pronouncing "mühle" but since its quite difficult for americans to pronounce that its totally fine i guess >< its just still not correct just because someone is in america
you researched everything except how to pronounce Hahnemühle. The way you prounanced it as an english tongued person is nearer the truth as you thought it´s the original german prounouncing
Your German pronunciation is so wrong there is an Ü which we pronunce not like an u ! But I know it’s a problem for people who are not from Germany . Most of my sketchbooks and paper are from HahnenmÜhle .
I bought the watercolour sketchbook and I despise it. "Awesome quality" I beg to differ. It does not hold watercolours well and absolutely refuses to cooperate with any wet-on-wet techniques. It's great for urban sketching and mixed media (pencil and watercolour, pen and ink and watercolour) but for doing anything with your watercolours beyond one to two layer washes it is awful.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but that hasn’t been my experience at all. I’ve literally soaked the entire book in a river, dried it out and watercolored several layers on it and it was perfect. Maybe you got a defective book or your scrubbing? Not sure, but I have filled about 7 of these and they all worked exceedingly well.
As a Croatian in Germany, I don't know why, but they make me so proud living here. Such a herritage of a company and really excellent paper! I didn't know for it for a year but when I was told by local seller in Kaiserslautern about it I just don't use other paper. Just ordered A6 format for winter dog walk sketches in a forest nearby. And proud of you promoting it as well, as I really wish more people knowing about it so they can avoid .. don't want to mention.. other companies that are in a price range by quality way off! My strongest reccomendation for even non cotton papers they make! You can even order personalised writing on a cover if you want! I will visit their factory in summer for sure! Tnx once again on a video and I like your sketches a lot
They make me proud as well and I live in America. 🙂
I really LIKE you, Marty!!!
the most informative video on papers
Hi Marti. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a New Yorker expat living abroad) and a subscriber to your channel.
5 years after it was created, EXCELLENT video, if not the BEST video I've seen on Artist paper, covering all (history, manufacturing, mixed media use, etc.).
And... very helpful for us living in Europe.
Hahnemuhle is considered an EXCELLENT paper for artists on this side if the pond and good quality for price, considering other high quality alternatives (cheaper than Stillman & Burns or Strathmore, for example).
Even though 5 years have past and I come late to the party... THANK YPU for such a great content.
Cheers from Sunny Spain!

You're the best Jane.
Thanks Marty. I’m new to watercolor so I really appreciate your reviews for supplies
Sure thing Mary. Thank you for watching and I hope you'll subscribe to the channel. :-) ~Marty
Great, in-depth video Marty. It's also worth noting that Hahnemühle uses synthetic sizing. There are no animal products so the papers are suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian artists.
Thank you! I love that about these papers. I don't think most companies can claim that.
That is great to know being that I'm vegan...thanks!
Fabriano wc paper does not use animal-based sizing
That's great to know. Strathmore is more available here in the Philippines as well as Fabriano so we'll have to wait for Hahnemule
onemig00 deovir has them. Already bought the watercolor journal and cezanne
I wanted to try the Hanemühle watercolor paper and now with your review I am informed and ready to purchase. The only problem I have is I need ALL the paper and the sketchbooks too! Marty, I am always happy to watch your videos, keep up the good work!
Hi Kelly - You should reach out to Hanemühle for some samples. Maybe they'll send you some and you test before you buy. :-)

Thanks for a great presentation. Engaging, informational, and thorough! You've got an appealing voice for audio/videos!
Thank you Ann. I appreciate the kind remarks. Some people say my voice puts them to sleep. :-)
Thanks so much for such an informative review of the paper. I'd heard of it, but had not seen it. Your video has inspired me to try it...I appreciate the help.
Hi Jim - Thanks for the note. They are just introducing it in North America this year, and the response has been great. I think you'll be hearing and seeing it more and more. ~Marty
Thanks for this introduction to this paper! Just clicked follow over on your site.
Thanks Kim - Please don't forget to leave a comment. :-)
Thanks for all your inspiration!
Thank you for watching Nancy.
I heard about these papers in the Wet Paint newsletter that I recently subscribed to. One thing I can say about products made in Germany: They build quality products. My first car was a Buick Opel. It is an American brand; but, it was built in Germany. It was a terrific first car. I wonder if I can find sample packs.
Marty, I really like watching your reviews. They always are so thorough. Thank you.
Hi Donna - You should contact them. I think you could get some samples for sure. I remember the Buick Opel, it was sweet. Thanks for watching. ~Marty
Hey Marty, great review. I used the sketchbook and I love it. Also, I have 3 blocks of their Anniversary Edition and it's awesome! The paper it's so thick and it's great to pain on. Thank you my friend, have a great day :)
So good to hear from you. How would you compare this paper to Fabriano or Arches?
Owings Art Hey Marty, sorry for the late answer. This Hahnemuhle paper I talked to you about it's pretty comparable with Arches (didn't use a lot Fabriano, not yet al least). Plus it's thick, 200 lbs and it's enjoyable to use it. Have a great day, my friend 😊
Thanks for this review! Did I already mention that I love your reviews? Oh, and naturally, I am pleased to find that you like German products like these here, since I live there. Thanks, Marty!
Oh, and by the way: I did not know about their post cards, I will check them out!
Deutsche Produkte werden immer einen besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen haben. Ich lebte einige Jahre in Deutschland und fand die Leute und die Produkte ausgezeichnet.
WOW! Du sprichst ja richtig gut deutsch! Toll! Und nochmals danke für die schönen, witzigen Videos!
Danke.
Because of the umlaut on the ü, it creates like a “Ooh” sound, like a stretched o. It’s like “Hahn-e-mool-a”
No it's not :). Also there is no a at the end, just e.
Thanks Marty, very interesting. I like knowing how paper (and paint etc) is made, the process and the way it reacts to different media ... will look on the website too later. Have a Hahnemuhle sketchbook myself and love the way it is put together which such attention to detail, the stitched pages and double page ... it is worth its weight in gold :). I'm in the UK so Hahnemuhle is widely available here. They are well known for their high quality photo paper too I think. Thanks again for the insights.
Thank you for this note Helene. I think you are lucky to live in place where it's affordable to buy this paper, it's got such great quality. Between Hahnemuhle and Stillman & Birn, these are the best out there right now. Hope you are well. ~Marty
i have been a follower for a long while, thanks for giving such great reviews
Thank you so much Kathy.
I bought 2 completely new pads of both Turner and Cezanne secondhand and very cheap but I haven't used them yet, so nice to know a little about them before trying them out :)
I think you're going to love them. :-)
These types of videos are particularly useful. I often see paper blocks and sketchbooks online but I have no way of knowing how they perform unless I see something like this. I will have to try these (when I get through my latest bunch of sketchbooks.)
Thanks Lisa. You can never have too much paper or too many sketchbooks right? ;-) Have a great day! ~Marty
great review and I like your lettering when you soak that paper in the water that makes me want to try it
Hi Christinia - It held up great, even after the soaking.
Owings Art that was just so amazing to me lol
Marty this was one of your best videos ever. The talk about paper making was so interesting, I really liked that. After I retired I started watercolor painting. I worked 35 years in the printing industry so paper is always of interest to me. By the way I went over to you web site and subscribed but did not see where to comment? I feel that the Hahnemühle paper is a very good chose and I will try it.
Thank you Paul, I appreciate the kind words of support. If you go to my website, just below any post, there should be a place to leave a comment. Let me know if you get stuck, I can help. Yes, I think you're printing industry experience would qualify you as an expert of the first order. :-) ~Marty
You, my friend, never cease to amaze with your insight and wonderful presentations! This is just great, and while I've heard of "Hannimule," I've never tried it. Now, it's on my post-holiday wish list (literally just wrote it down!). And I love that you mentioned the "Mark" of a quality-made paper (6:45)! LOL!!!! Thank you, as always! Great treat to see a new Owings Art video posted! :) oh, and thanks for the heads-up at WetPaint! :)
Ha! Thanks Mark. I appreciate the kind remarks. You have to try this, it's great paper. Even after the holidays. :-)
Marty, I love your you tube channel!! You have taught me so much and I really appreciate your review that I saw this morning about the paper! I have seen this brand and wondered about it! So learning was really helpful. I learned all about Legion paper from you too! Wow you really put that stuff thru it's paces!! Just know you are appreciated!! Cindy in Huntsville, AL I followed your blog today and tried to leave this comment there but it says "Comments on this blog are restricted to team members." Sorry, would love to try those cards!
Hi Cindy - Thanks for the kind remarks. I fixed the issue on the site now (thank you for bringing that to my attention). You should be able to leave a comment now. All the best and please keep watching. ~Marty
Thank you so much for sharing! Very informative video! :)
Very Informative. Will be looking into this paper.
It's pretty sweet.
wow paper sizing... I never heard of that. Now I know why some paper feather more than others. I never really gave Hahnemuhle a chance, but I think it is going to be some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing, and making these high quality contents.
What I find with buckling paper, it can take a few days to dry, and putting a bit of weight on it after it feels dry to touch will to flatten the paper too.
Umm I'm kinda like a month late to stick to the end, but okay always good to know what I have missed XD
Thank you Chrissie. Glad you learned something new from this video, that's always my goal. Thanks for the note on the buckling. Much appreciated. ~Marty
Thank you so curious about this paper, well no more!
:-) Thanks for watching! ~Marty
Soooo jealous of your paper haul. Looks like so much deliciousness..... I bought a ton of that Legion stonehenge aqua, assorted! So I will get through that before I buy more.
Ahhhh, you can never have too much paper. ;-)
These papers look amazing!! I'll have to keep my eyes open, see if I can spot these around here eventually! We don't have many options around here, or perhaps I need to pay more attention.... Thanks for this great video Marty, take care! :D
Hi Eve - I'll message you. ~Marty
Hi Marty! Awesome, I'll wait for your message :) Thanks!
I really appreciated this review of Hahnemule papers. I enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you.
Eve Jacksons do a full range of their paper, its very good
Thanks for the in-depth analysis of hahnemule(sp) paper. I like great paper because that can help your art look more like you intended it to.Thanks for sharing this video.
Great point Kathleen, but nothing beats practice. :-)
Look at that at 22:15 Hahnemühle Postcards your üh - pronunciation was perfect. :)
Whatever.
Thanks once again for an informative video, which I very much enjoyed.
Danke Silke.
Thanatos for the Paper info...
Thanks
I have a sketchbook from them and I loveee it
They are awesome.
HP Arches paper is expensive but one of my favorite papers and equal to Archers is the heavy workhorse paper from Hahnemühle and half the price, that is if you buy it in Europe, I don't know what it costs in the US. It is excellent with mixed media and is able to take a lot of beating. Inks, watercolor, acrylic and colored pencil drawings with white spirit for blending etc. it has never failed me. Thank you, Marty Owings, for your great intro to this paper, it sure deserves a place on the Art wall of fame.
Have you every used Stonehenge Aqua? It is another very excellent paper. I did a review on it if you want to have a look at that. It was fun and the paper was great.
No, but I am always on the lookout for papers, so next time I'm buying papers I will try it out. I can recommend another excellent cotton rag paper called Saunders waterford, both the HP and the textured, have you tried that one? but I have to say, it is on the more expensive side. thank you, Marty.
Your pronunciation was cute :>.
And that's a very informative video, Marty. I love the postcards; they were my first experience of really well-made watercolour paper.
:-) You are being kind to me. Thank you. Hope you are doing well.
Marty, thanks for such detailed information, I’ve never used a nib pen to test paper before. So glad wet paint has been involved in carrying this paper. Take care! Essie/luv4art33 in West Texas.
Hi Essie - Thanks a ton my friend. This paper seemed to handle the nib pen no problem. I'm going to be using this paper quite a bit now, especially for finished work. Hope all is well in West Texas! ~Marty PS - I saw Chip and Joanna are going to be leaving HGTV.
I watched the video until the end, I did it mainly because many times at the end you show work by your friends etc. That was a cute idea to have the handouts at the end. Whomever you give them to, they will enjoy them. I know the Gaines are quitting, they are involved in too many things. Now they have a show for the carpenter Clint and his wife. Take care Essie.
Fantastic review! I've been seeing them in one of my favorite art store brands but I've never felt inclined to try them out and have always stuck with my usual papers. I'm gonna see if I could get my hands on these the next time I buy paper. Cheers from the Philippines :D
Hi Nicolle - I think you are going to love this paper and the sketchbooks are great as well.
Which one would be best for acrylics?
That is some dope paper
Mo def.
The Company is part of / works closely with Schminke I hear, so the quality follows through.
I love how much work and passion you put into this introduction to the company and it's papers and the amount of background information you put in.
I personally love their papers, simply for the quality, even though they are on the pricy side.
The only thing I don't like is the pronounciation. :D As a fellow german I have to say, that the way that it is pronounced in this video, for both the english and the german version,
is completely wrong. That is most german's biggest pet peeve when a non-german speaker reviews products or companies with german names.
The same goes für Städtler, Schmincke, Faber-Castell etc. The letters and their combinations basically dont exist in english. E.g. the ,,h'' makes the vowel before it longer.
And Ü, Ä and Ö simply dont exist in english at all and is more common in languages like german or turkish (even though it's just ü there).
Dear Marty on a recent Podcat with Steve Yourself and Stuart (unsure of the name as only caught a piece of it a watercolorist and framer)Stuart mentioned that he uses matte board to draw on . I recently got a lot of board offcuts from my local framer and I unsure if it is matte board or mount board. My questions are
1.Is there any way to test if a board is acid free or not? I have seen some pens advertised but there are post that state that these pens are unreliable
2.If an unarchival board is primed and coated with a surface such as watercolor ground, pastel gesso, normal gesso can this make the surface archival?
3.Can I use a non acid free surface to mount canvas on?For example sticking the entire canvas down with acid free glue to the matte board? Will the non acid free matte board damage the canvas?
4.Can I use the non acid free surface as a mounting board to an acid free surface such as pastel paper or watercolor paper . Or will the watercolor paper, pastel paper be compromised from mounting to a non acid free surface . Please note I will mount with acid free glue.?
5. Can I use the non acid free surface as just a paper stretcher for canvas?
Hi Rhom - Hope this helps.
1. I don't know of an easy test. It's best to ask the place you got it from.
2. That's a good question. I suppose the surface would be, but the substrate wouldn't be. Interesting.
3. Depends on the non-acid free mount, but I would avoid this. Why take the chance when the acid-free is the same cost or a few pennies more in most cases.
4. Same as 3.
5. I think so.
People think they need to use art supplies that are going to last 300 years. Here's the thing, after we are dead, if our art is worth anything, many places will hire professional conservators to, "fix" our paintings, mountings, frames and so on.
Marty recheck the year you posted for on the wet paint sale ending..
Great review as always. The drawing paper is the one I'm most interested in 😊
Hi Rhonda - Great eye. I just fixed that. Thanks for the heads up. Much appreciated my friend. ~Marty
Thanks for the review Marty! How do the watercolor sketchbooks compare to the quality and stability of Stillman and Birn? Looks like I will need to get one. -Pete
Hi Pete - These compare very well. S&B are still my favorite, but these are pretty darn great and I'd say slightly better for pure watercolor. These are good books, very good books. ~Marty
Very interesting paper
It's excellent paper and the sketchbooks are outstanding. I'm going to use the large size watercolor sketchbook next. :-)
Owings Art good luck filling it up I love your art style :)
Thank you so much. Very kind.
Hi! Loved your video on Hahnemhle! It was both informative and educational!! I have been looking for a watercolor book and you nailed it! Great paper. Please review the 300 lb Leonardo . I want to buy it but have been unable to find a source. I went to your website to get the chance to get the watercolor post cards!!! I hope I have a chance! I am a retired art teacher and love your youtube videos! Thanks Mary Hobby
Hi Mary - Thank you so much for the note. I think we already have the three winners, however, if you contact Hanemühle, they may send you some samples to try out for free. :-)
Hello, Thanks so much for this great video :) It was really informative, moved along at a great pace, wonderful video and sound quality too! One question: What is the brand of pen you used to make a wash with on the first demo with the Cezanne paper? It appeared at 6:52 (3rd ink wash from the left). I'm definitely interested in the Hahnemuhle sketch books! So exciting! ~ Ruth.
Thanks for the note and the question. That pen is the Pentel Aquash Water Pen. You can pick it up here: amzn.to/2HLuH7t
Botanical painters are sick because Fabriano cold press watercolour paper is no longer made. How does this Hahnemuhle paper compare to Fabriano? Thanks
Hi Candice - That's something I didn't really touch on in the video, however I definitely think it is comparable or slightly better. I also like the Stonehenge Aqua, which I tested earlier this year. This really is first rate paper, excellent quality and cost isn't too bad considering the effort they put into this paper. Hope that helps. Have a great day! ~Marty
Hi, is the Leonardo 280 lb hot pressed paper good for priming and oil painting? Thanks
Yes, absolutely
What are your thoughts on the Torchon 275g?
Haven't tried it, but I should for sure.
Hi Marty,
Could you provide a valid Hanemuble web site. As the one you provided could not be opened.
Where can we buy this paper or sketch book online. Thks
From: Janet chen
I believe my friends at Wet Paint carry the paper and the books. Check this out - www.wetpaintart.com/catalogsearch/result/?o=Hahnemule&q=hahnemuhle
Ooooh I want...
I have a few Hahnemühle. I like it. I thought people didn't like this brand because it's cheap (also there are only a few reviews of it). Turned out it's just not that popular yet outside Europe (?)
Hi Char - They just introduced it here in the States this year, but it is gaining a huge following. It's a little bit expensive here for the sketchbooks, but worth every penny because of the high quality.
now that i tried to flashback, i purchased the watercolor book last year. it was an introduction price i think because the art shop i usually go to didn't sell it before (not that i know of). It's a high quality one but i may like stillman & Birn (i'm curious about this, will buy this one abroad because nobody seems to sell it here, except in Germany.) Hahnemuhle that i purchased costed around 10 euros.
I know this brand, I bought an art journal at with thick pages in Lyon / France, when I was there
These papers are great for Inkjest prints.
I haven't tried them Tina. Maybe I should. :-)
Owings Art you won't be disappointed, that's how I learned about the paper. I went to a local paper digital print shop. They recommended this brand of paper for printing. It does soak up a lot of ink but the results are amazing.
Okay I will based on your recommendation. Thank you!
Hi Marty - I feel as if I am stalking you! Truth is I have been drawing and painting since I was knee high but have never really 'looked into' all the products and their quality and various uses etc before - so, I am now using my time to rectify that with the excellent videos here - but really good teachers/reviewers are few and far between. You though - well you should be an art school teacher you are so thorough and dedicated to your task. So, many thanks for all your great videos - they will keep me busy for many months to come! I wonder if you have done a review on really good synthetic water colour brushes? Stay well. Never mind about the accent comments - I wonder how their accents/pronunciations sound to us?! Were you in Germany with the Army or Airforce by any chance?
Hahaha - Not at all. Heck I'd be happy to have a stalker..LOL.
All kidding aside, I really appreciate the kind words and support. I did a review of a variety of natural and synthetic hair brushes a while back. Probably needs an update though.
Yes, I was in the Army with a border unit called the Blackhorse Regiment. I was stationed in Fulda, Germany, about 100 kilometers from Frankfurt. I traveled widely in Europe when I was able to, but my duties kept me very busy. Thanks for asking.
Marty
@@owingsart Well, that's interesting - my late hubby was in the RAF and
Stationed in Cologne which he loved, even signed up for longer - that was before I met him. He said it did him the world of good and made him grow up! An update of artificial hair brushes would be good. I was reading about some called Rosemary's brushes which I must investigate . . I know Raphael are very good - and ProArte. Keep well
@@owingsart a ps - I just ordered some ProArte Sablene brushes - a set. They are a replica of sable to satisfy artists who want to avoid animal cruelty and reviews are great - will be interested if you're able to add to your update.
Oh cool
I live right next to Dassel🥰
I've been to Dassel, it's a nice place and I enjoyed my visit. It was a long time ago though - 1985.
Great video Marty! 😁 I'm really interested to try the Leonardo paper. They sent me some small marked samples, I need to see if the Leonardo is in there. I did try to comment on your blog, but it wouldn't let me. 😢 I sent you some msgs on fb so you could see what is happening. I hope you are doing well my friend. TC! 🤗
Hi Val - I fixed the website issue, sorry about that. Saw your IM, will connect with you. ~Marty
I went to your website and clicked follow, I don't see where to leave a comment, though I am sure I am FAR too late to win anything. LOL
Sorry, you were a but you were a bit late Maire.
i use there watercolour paper as my got standard paper, it's spot on, thanks for the info
Hi Ian - What are your thoughts about the paper and the watercolor sketchbook if you use it?
I tend to use blocks and loose sheets in NOT/rough format as they have a good texture to then, they are up there with saunders waterford, arches & even hand made paper. like you said it's a robust paper that can take a lot of stick from the media.
Duh, just re read my note below. I should have said it is Fabriano hot press is no longer made. Apparently, Wet Pint Art doesn't have the Hahnemuhle in stock. Waaa
I was just up there last night, so they must've sold out quickly.
Alcohol marker on watercolor paper is usually not such a good idea. Not because marker don't work with watercolor paper. they do fairly well, but watercolor paper is a thirsty paper and shortens the life of an alcohol marker considerably. The paper sucks alcohol marker dry.
Hallo Silke - ich stimme dir mit dem Alkoholmarker zu. In diesem Fall war der Alkoholmarker auf dem Papier gut, blutete aber nur auf 140lb durch. Auf dem 280 Pfund Papier blutete es nicht durch. Danke für die Hilfe bei meiner Aussprache. Es ist 30 Jahre her, seit ich in Deutschland gelebt habe und mein Deutsch ist ein bisschen rostig. ~ Marty
is that a tv fishtank?
Yes, lol. Cracked me up Karia.
cracked me up too! :D
I don't understand why you would say how Germans pronounce Hahnemühle because quite frankly you said it wrong.
Informative deep dive into the paper, great video! Thank you for the efforts!
Seems like a backhanded compliment if I'm being honest. :-(
@@owingsart me complimenting your video is backhanded?
What's wrong with what I said? It's a deep dive into the paper, it's informative and well made, I just didn't understand why you you told people how germans pronounce the brand name but yet did it wrong. It seemed so unnecessary to me that's all. Not sure now why you'd take offense to this
@@LeiliMana It’s all good. I pronounced it the best I could. I wish I had pronounced it better and in ways that others would have liked. That said, I appreciate you watching and for the supportive remarks.
@@owingsart of course! This was a very good video and very insightful and detailed! Definitely worth the watch, thanks for the efforts! Definitely didn't mean to be harsh or negative in any way 🙏
Well the pronounciation in german, do not forget the german umlaut ü. It is not ...muh-la. The way you pronounce the end of the word in english is closer to the way it is said in german.
ok away from all this pronounciation stuff- suuuper informative video and well structured (boy i sound like my german teacher)
totally what i was looking for
My German is a bit rusty and it's been a long time since I lived there, but I gave it a shot...LOL.
Thank you for leaving this nice comment and checking out the video, much appreciated.
ok so the correct german pronounciation is not hahn-ah-mul-ah but hahne (hahn as you pronounced it in the video and e like.. uh >
and also because its the name its actually not pronounced differently in other countries ... there is just one way of pronouncing "mühle" but since its quite difficult for americans to pronounce that its totally fine i guess >< its just still not correct just because someone is in america
good video..thanks..but its more like we pronounce hahnemühle in germany like you said they pronounce it in the u.s. more like harn-eh-mÜle XD
Ahhh okay. My german is rusty. ;-)
XD You dont pronounce it like this in german. Its like hah-ne-müh-le
Thank you Fabian.
Could you spell it phonetically for we english speakers?
Is hah the same as ha?
Is ne sound like nee or na or ???
No idea what müh is, etc
you researched everything except how to pronounce Hahnemühle. The way you prounanced it as an english tongued person is nearer the truth as you thought it´s the original german prounouncing
Ha! I used to speak german fluently when I lived there in the 80's, now I'm just a schmuck from the Midwest who talks like a hillbilly...lol. :-)
Your German pronunciation is so wrong there is an Ü which we pronunce not like an u ! But I know it’s a problem for people who are not from Germany .
Most of my sketchbooks and paper are from HahnenmÜhle .
Thank you for the tip and correction.
In germany y don't pronounce it like that 😂 I can't even decribe how to pronounce " ü " for you.
LOL, du siehst mein Problem. Obwohl ich 2 Jahre dort gelebt habe und Deutsch gelernt habe, kann ich diesen Namen nicht richtig aussprechen.
Owings Art das klang echt zu lustig 😂 aber dein Video ist trotzdem echt gut, ich hab selbst bücher von der marke :)
This was not german at all
I tried my best.
I bought the watercolour sketchbook and I despise it. "Awesome quality" I beg to differ. It does not hold watercolours well and absolutely refuses to cooperate with any wet-on-wet techniques. It's great for urban sketching and mixed media (pencil and watercolour, pen and ink and watercolour) but for doing anything with your watercolours beyond one to two layer washes it is awful.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, but that hasn’t been my experience at all. I’ve literally soaked the entire book in a river, dried it out and watercolored several layers on it and it was perfect. Maybe you got a defective book or your scrubbing? Not sure, but I have filled about 7 of these and they all worked exceedingly well.
Sketching has only one C. 🤓
