What a pear!

"Beautiful  Pear" 5X7 watercolor on Yupo

 I have been experimenting painting on Yupo paper and having a great time. Yupo is a smooth surfaced plastic paper. The paint sits on the surface and puddles until it is dry.  The watercolor paint is easily removed to regain the white of the paper. As you see I have applied splatters of paint after the paint is almost dry as well as water splatters when the paint was wet.  

These paintings are a result of a series of pear studies.
