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!

Pouring Watercolor
by admin on Jan.05, 2009, under Featured articles, Watercolor Techniques
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.
