Painting on Yupo paper is one of my favorites!  While the fluidity can create anything from happy accidents to real disasters, learning to manage the flow and mix of the paint on the slick surface can create some really stunning works! In the video below, (yes, another FREE one!) watch the lifting daisies technique in action and then try it yourself!

It intimidates.  At least, so I’m told.  “Oooh, but watercolor is so hard!”  Come now, really?  Water, pigment and a wide array paintable surfaces, from paper (of all kinds) to canvas to wood (even a violin!) bring me nothing but delight! Scary? Not in the least.  Soothing….for sure.  Take a look:

It’s taken me longer than I thought, but I’m pouring all my best into it!  There’s nothing more exciting to me than when a student says, “WOW! I actually DID IT!’  When a student brings me work to evaluate and I see growth and development it puts a smile on my face!

We are made creative.  It’s in you, but perhaps you haven’t found it.  Maybe you find your creative genius in music, or dance.  Don’t think you can “do it all”!  You may always excel at one more than another, but the satisfaction of releasing that timeless flow is immense.

Pouring watercolor can be vastly differing experiences depending on the choice of medium.  Working on traditional watercolor paper, such as Arches 140 pound Cold Press gives one result, which we’ll explore later, but for real vibrant color, give it shot on Yupo.  You may get the idea that I like working on Yupo…and you’d be correct!

My friend and fellow artist, Jacqui Binford-Bell has a unique take on pouring.  Since it’s so different from what I do, I’d like to share her perspective with you.
