DAY 13 - Painting 30 Paintings in 30 Days (Yupo)

"Floral Crown"

8" x 10"

watercolor, marker and pencil on YUPO

Good/bad time to try something new.  I purchased 

some YUPO paper several months ago and

wondered if I had the time this afternoon

to experiment with it and get something

worth posting that is not what I usually have done 

with YUPO before.

I experimented and found

it's a bigger learning curve

than I originally thought.

Once down, you have to leave the watercolor alone, 

If you go back, you just about take the pigment back out.

The surface is really slick and NON absorbent,

so the medium just sits atop - puddling and pooling.

I have tried it with alcohol inks, just dropping the ink

and letting it bleed into different colors.

Lots of fun, but trying to control it

is a real task.

Didn't leave enough time to play with it 

anymore, had to call it done.

This is PAR for Friday the 13th.
