Yupo Painting 1W23
Yupo, a synthetic paper made from polypropylene resin, opens many exciting possibilities for water-based media.
Colors flow, swirl and bleed on its surface, creating unique effects when the water evaporates. Once the initial image is dry, you may rework areas, remove color and apply monoprinting techniques. Go beyond basics, making a series of images in class.
