This is a watercolor painting on Yupo paper., a fairly new synthetic paper that is very slick and will not absorb paint into the paper fibers. . I use a technique with heavy vinyl to move and manipulate the paint on the paper. Once I get the design and patterns that I am happy with from the lift, I can use a brush to move the paint into different areas or to remove the paint where I want whites to reappear. It is very spontaneous and the results can be surprisingly good (or bad!). The advantage is that most paints if non-staining can be washed off the paper and one can start all over. More Yupo paintings can be viewed on m website.
