Following the release of stunning sets of papers in September, our passion for creating unique Rebelle surfaces is stronger than ever. Today, we're excited to introduce three new paper sets designed for Rebelle artists who love to push their creative boundaries. Two of these sets bring back the popular monochrome papers in full color, enhancing the texture and making it more lifelike. Additionally, the brand-new handmade papers offer incredible versatility, ensuring your artwork truly stands out.
Mulberry, Straw, Coconut Color Papers
In the past, we experimented with materials like coconut texture, freshly mowed grass, or the fine weave of silk in a unique combination, transforming them into monochrome papers for Rebelle. Now, we're revisiting these surfaces to bring them to life in vibrant, full-color form. Introducing the Mulberry, Straw, Coconut Color Set! We've reprocessed each type of paper to enhance its natural character, making the textures and colors more authentic than ever before. While their color and structure have been updated, we've carefully preserved the original edges that give these papers their distinctive look. Designed for daring artists, these versatile papers are perfect for drawing with pastels, pencils, charcoal, and crayons. They also beautifully complement watercolor, oil painting, and mixed media creations. With added NanoPixel detail, these papers can be repainted and give your boldest artworks a new dimension. Let your creativity shine on these stunning surfaces!

Washi Heavy Color Papers
The Washi Heavy Color Set marks another creative return, bringing a fresh full-color approach to three classic Japanese papers. The Mitsumata Heavy Color paper, known for its exceptional thickness by Japanese standards, offers unique visual qualities. We’ve reimagined its elegant fibers to evoke a landscape with sky, giving the paper an even closer connection to its original form. The Washi Gampi Color paper is similarly thick, with a beautifully natural curl. Inspired by a truly luxurious material, this paper is ideal for a variety of painting and drawing techniques. Lastly, the Washi Kozo Color paper features the fine edges characteristic of traditional Japanese paper. Its texture has a subtle fabric-like quality, making it a fantastic surface for all types of painting techniques. Whether you're drawing with pencil or charcoal, or exploring more complex media, working on this paper feels effortlessly smooth and satisfying.

Handmade Mix Papers
This paper set is a blend of various paper-making techniques that brings together the best of different textures. The material itself was crafted from a mixture of papers, manually processed through plastic sieves, and dried on linen cloth. Some were left in their natural state, while others were further pressed against solid surfaces to create unique effects. Through this process, many variations emerged, and we're excited to present three standout selections. The first is a darker, greenish paper with a rough yet refined texture. Next, we have a softer paper featuring vertical lines and an abundance of small fragments embedded throughout. Finally, there’s a bold, wavy paper with a striking, aggressive texture. Each paper offers versatility, allowing you to explore dry media, oils, acrylics, or watercolors. The choice is yours - let your creativity guide you!

How We Create Papers for Rebelle
The ultra-realistic papers are an absolute gem. When creating papers, we look for a suitable contrast in texture to capture the characteristics of the fibers, which creates a unique paper structure every time. Papers are not a simple copy of reality. They are new textured images created with respect to the original pattern and behave realistically like real papers while painting in the Rebelle.
The new paper sets, along with the rest, are available on our website starting at USD 9.99 each. Each set contains three different papers.
