Hello all. I hope everyone is painting away 2014. I hope the new year finds you all well, and I hope to see you here in beautiful Sedona again next year.
I recently picked up some Yupo paper (which is not really paper, at all). to experiment with.
I first did a traditional watercolor painting, which I was not entirely pleased with. Yupo is polypropylene, and as such, is not absorbent at all. Therefore, the paint tends to puddle, and pool up, making it rather challenging to control.
As I have a pad of 20 sheets, I continue my experimenting with watercolor pencils, which, surprisingly worked quite well on the somewhat slick surface. So without further fanfare, I present my first painting on Yupo paper for your pleasure.
Let me know when you're coming, and I can arrange a special Plein-Aire session.
