Some of the finest art in the Papel Amate form is drawn in black ink on white papel amate. These drawings often demand greater skill and precision than the paintings. They cannot be done by children (as some of the "tourist" paintings are.) Background on the Papel Amate form is on the Papel Amate Painting Main Page
These ink drawings are a small percentage of the total output on papel amate. The results are often very striking and full of grace. As a result, these drawings command a premium in price and are highly regarded by those who have come to appreciate their unique qualities.
We enjoy these drawings very much and seek them out. We have collected them for years. We personally review hundreds of paintings to select the very best. We are very happy to have these very nice drawings to offer here.
These drawings fit easily into any room and provide endless interest. Most of them are very detailed and finely drawn. As a result they photograph poorly and in reasonably-sized computer images lose much of their excitement. We can Email you a larger image in response to an Email request from you. In addition to the pieces shown above, we have a beautiful selection of paintings on Papel Amate Main Page & AmatePaintings.com.
The following describes and prices the individual drawings. All of these drawings are about 23- to 24-inches high and 15- to 16-inches wide (Burro and Sun is 15-inches high and 23-inches wide.) Sales tax is required from California buyers. :
