These are my first attempts at using Yupo paper with watercolor which i tried last year. I had just visited Sandy Maudlin's blog and she has some amazing Yupo paintings there with some very helpful hints on how to use this rather unusual support. When i did the fist one, i almost could not stop smiling and laughing because it was just so much fun! I had forgotten about it till i saw Sandy's paintings and I just have to try some more now incorporating some of her helpful techniques. I was amazed too that the cows sold at my first show! I still have the rooster, and he is adorning my studio space just now. Give Yupo a try if you have not already.
I have seen only abstracts and florals on yupo so far, these are quite a tough to get on yupo, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAll three paintings are delightful. I have tried yupo only once, and my results certainly were not as successful as yours.
ReplyDeleteAre you planning on using yupo again?
Love the blue guy the best, he's awesome!
ReplyDeleteOH YEAH! So happy to see you YUPO posts. It's such a blast to paint on. Hopefully I'll be able topast works on YUPO done in my Dallas, TX workshop next week. LOVE the beautiful murals, too. Lucky couple and baby.
