Bienfang Paper

Bienfang has been providing quality art papers to artists and designers for over 80 years. In 1926, Sebastian Bienfang founded the Bienfang Paper Company in a loft in New York City to import and sell fine tracing, drawing and watercolor papers to large United States users. As the number of individual artists and engineers increased, Bienfang began to convert its specialty papers into more useable formats, such as pads, sheets and small rolls. Today, Bienfang along with Speedball creates papers for all types of creative expression from sketching and tracing to painting and water color marker and technical drawing.

Excellent for painting, drawing, cardmaking, calligraphy, rubber-stamp coloring and scrapbooking paper projects. Blendable color paints are in the brush and are acid free, permanent and dry quickly.
