More watercolor on yupo

Red Floral


I painted this while admiring an arrangement that a friend had out on her table.  I enjoyed watching the paint flow and yet the painting still remained vibrant.  This is the pleasure of painting on yupo.  Yupo is a "plastic" paper.  It comes in different thickness.  I found by prepping it first with a quick rinse of an abrasive cleaning agent, any oils from my hand or other unintended scratches are eliminated.  Because plastic repels water, the watercolor must be applied flat .  Try using yupo, you might just love it!
