I played with something new today, yupo watercolor paper. It's a watercolor paper with a wax finish so the watercolor is suppose to just slosh around. It will take some getting use to but this was my result. I just used a sketch that I've been contemplating painting so it was a double experimentation.
I'm not completely happy (though I do like the way the water looks in some areas) with these results but I'm gonna keep playing around with it and see what happens.
You are having tremendously better results with yupo than I. I decided I hate yupo, but now you have me rethinking it. Very nice effects, and it very much goes with the water theme.
ReplyDeleteYeah, yupo is definately a play with paper before you get serious.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried yupo paper, yet! I really like your results. Have you tried painting watercolour over gessoed paper? Very interesting to work with plus you get the brushstrokes used in applying the gesso. Also fun/frustrating to work with.
ReplyDeleteThanks paint1chris, I actually have some of that gessoed paper hiding somewhere around my house. I think it's time to play with that!
