Another Yupo Floral

Red Lily


Well, Here is another watercolor on yupo.  The color strength is great and it is so easy to move the paint on the paper.  Lots of fun.

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!
