Developing paper to look "mature" or aged is a creative process often called "distressing" or "aging" paper. You can achieve this effect using common household items to mimic the natural yellowing, staining, and wear that occurs over decades. Methods to Age Paper
: Using diluted brown or yellow watercolor paints can create specific aged spots or a varied "foxing" effect common in old books. Darkroom Paper "Maturing"
: Using developer that has been used several times can lead to unique, softer tones, though it is often frustrating if you are aiming for standard high-quality blacks.
: This is the most common way to give paper a brownish, antique tinge. Brew a strong batch of black tea or coffee.
: Ball up the paper and flatten it back out to create realistic wrinkles.
