Pure Mulberry Silk Sized Painting Silk for Gongbi and Calligraphy

Woven from 100% mulberry silk and sized with the traditional alum-and-glue method, this thick painting silk (juan) gives fine-brush artists a smooth, luminous surface that holds a crisp line without bleeding. Ink glides, colour layers build cleanly, and the weave stays taut as you work.

Why artists choose it

• Traditionally sized (shu juan) surface: ink and mineral colours sit on top instead of feathering
• Heavier weight than standard silk, so it resists warping during repeated washes and glazes
• Ideal for gongbi fine-line painting, bai miao outline work, boneless (mogu) painting, small regular script and running-cursive calligraphy
• Finished works mount and frame beautifully for gallery or gift display

Choose your shade

• Natural white, light antique, light-medium antique, medium antique and deep antique tones
• Toasted rice, smoke grey, navy blue and vermilion red for decorative and contrast pieces
