The Artistico is their premium watercolour range: 100% cotton, hot press, 300gsm, archival. By specification it is nearly identical to Arches Hot Press. The difference is surface character: Fabriano Artistico has a marginally more tooth than Arches Hot Press — a very slight texture that some illustrators experience as warmer and more responsive under a dip pen nib, while others experience as marginally rougher than they want for fine-line botanical work. The difference is not dramatic, but it is real and consistently described by practitioners who use both. Both are stocked because the preference is genuinely divided — some practitioners who have used both strongly prefer one, and the only way to know your preference is to use both.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fabriano Artistico","offers":[{"title":"Full imperial sheet 56×76cm","offer_id":53243250934088,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"9×12\" block (23×30.5cm)","offer_id":53243250966856,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/fabriano-artistico-hot-press-300gsm","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
