"Peridot" 8X10 watercolor on Yupo.

coming out in print and cards

Every once in a while I just feel like playing and trying new things. This was a product of that play.  Yupo is a unique plastic like paper. The paint stays on the top of the paper an then dries. It is great for puddling, running, blending on paper, and lifts perfectly for restoring whites. I even like how the pencil marks resists the paint and shows through as white. The toughest thing I have noticed that it is hard to get darks. You get one chance to get it as dark as you want. Well you could wipe the paint off and then start again. This is about the 5th painting I have painted on yupo. Too much fun. Try it!
