Introducing the artists behind our marbled papers – Renato Crepaldi & Robert Wu

In-store, we sell marbled papers by two very talented artists.  Both Renato Crepaldi from Brazil and Robert Wu from Toronto carry on an ancient art of painting on water surface with precision and their own unique styles.
