As a beginner without a clue, I became indeed frustrated with that 'polythingy paper' at first. Then I used a few sheets of a small size block as liner paper for my wooden travel palette. Gave me a cool mixing area without beading up. Then i tried it again for loose florals and worked my way slowly into that new experience. Now it has grown on me. But Arches will remain my mothership...

I bought Yupo years ago for a very specific application and painted on it with regular acrylic paints (Liquitex). I needed to paint an image that would then be installed on a ceiling. The Yupo was just fine for that job, I had no problem applying the first layers of acrylic but I should say that the style was controlled and meticulous for that piece of trompe l'oeil. I found that Yupo was Wonderful to draw on with graphite and colored pencil, though I haven't done a full picture with it. One of the awesome things is that you can erase without hurting the surface! I think watercolors are the Last thing I would use it for, but I can see how it would be fun for creating interesting backgrounds for ink drawing.

@sfd6270 Год назад

I found that one can practice Yupo skills on photo paper for home printers. The surface is a similar -- you get sharp edges -- and it's a way to use up old paper.

@karenjohnson6487 5 лет назад

Steve I am in awe at what you create from your spontaneous painting. Especially on this occasion with the challenging surface. You never disappoint. Thank you. Very inspiring.

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

I think spontaneous painting is probably the way to go with this surface because I paint with no expectations and take what I'm given. A planned, drawn out painting would probably be more frustrating

@880raven 5 лет назад

I love the work you’ve done on Yupo paper and the very things that make it frustrating are also the things that draw me to it...the running and spotting and unpredictability. But I’ve yet to try it or any other paper for the most part. I’m one of those students who have all the tools possible, have taken all the online classes I”ve found and really want to paint and yet still don’t know where to start/what to paint. I understand Yupo isn’t for beginners but I think this video has convinced me to just do SOMETHING on this paper. It’s very exciting. Thank you. Paula

@francecotnoir4772 5 лет назад

For the yupo. Put color on one sheet then put another yupo sheet of paper on it, the color will move then try to work with the result you will obtain when you will separe both sheet.

@susanhamilton1822 5 лет назад

Wow! I am flabbergasted that you were able to create something so beautiful the first time using such a difficult medium. Kudos to you Steve.

@oscar6443 5 лет назад

Hi Steve. I absolutely loved that painting, also watching the way you played, and teased the paint, and the brush strokes will help me and many others out there. Thank You for taken the time to demonstrate with that unforgiving paper 🐶

@cassiescreations9828 5 лет назад

Your excitement is contagious and there were several things you said that I love, "Maybe if I lay these brush strokes in a little less strokey and a little more organically." This lack of control and unpredictable nature of this paper is what the Yupo artists embrace! Actually, it could work for a beginner who either lacks or dislikes restraint and does not desire to paint realistically, loves to throw paint down and work with these wonderful exciting shapes forming, bringing out their own vision in the organic shapes. Your painting is full of "happy accidents" and it is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen, Steve. I absolutely enjoyed this from beginning to end. I love the unpredictable and organic nature of this product.

@cassiescreations9828 5 лет назад

@@CactusThorn Huh?

@rebeccajosteelman563 5 лет назад

I totally agree, always fun to let unpredictability mix with more intended marks and touches of paint with the brushwork. Thanks for this video, Steve. I want to get some great yupo!

@Lorens-art 4 года назад

couldn't agree more 100% well said. Steve you are amazing

@RobboJ30 5 лет назад

Lovely result! Very difficult to achieve the results you have managed by using traditional watercolour washes and dilute paint. Try using watercolour from tubes and mixing to thicker consistency, much more manageable, dries quicker (careful not to use hairdryer too hot otherwise Yupo may buckle). Use a moist brush on the dried paint using single stroke only and then lift by using tissue or kitchen roll and a soft sponge roller (kids paint roller). This applies a gentle pressure and lifts the pigment into the tissue. Using thicker paint and allowing different colours to merge you will learn which pigments tend to granulate and which are stronger and dominate the pool of colour.

I didn’t think you were going to go anywhere. I’m astounded. Everyone I know does abstracts with alcohol inks. I’ve done them with watercolor and alcohol. This was a masterclass.

@marceybadillo1618 4 года назад

I loved that you brought us along with you through the challenges and frustrations of Yupo paper. It was fun to watch you get angry and frustrated with this product but then at the same time to be excited about the way the paint moved on it and made all these really cool swirls and pictures in the final painting. I had a lot of fun hanging out with you!

@lucelaliberte2537 5 лет назад

This was a joy to watch! From the beginning i was seeing a bear running away. The most you were working on it, adding trees and waterfall, the more I was seeing that bear running away with what is left of wild nature on it's back to preserve it somewhere. (hope this comment is making sens as I am french speaking) Love Yupo paper, and this demo was really great!

When buying yupo in a sheet I pick the one from the middle of the stack because it's handled less,I use alcohol to clean if there a finger marks,tfs your technique.

Vraiment magnifique. Bravo...

@nancygauthier1190 5 лет назад

Very beautiful. I love Yupo, it's always a surprise. I learned from my teacher that we have to be careful when we touch the paper, at least try to not put your fingers too much on the paper because the oil in our hands keep spots in the paper the paint won't stay on those spots, if I remember, to remove those spots you have to clean it with a bit of alcohol. Once that happens to me, but instead of cleaning it, I painted with my fingers and created a kind of smog, it was an happy accident 😊

@elainelogan2023 Год назад

@suzanneroper5732 5 лет назад

I’ve tried Yupo but only for abstract work (think geode). As always, your work is so inspiring. What patience! One tip: work on Yupo needs a spray fixative just like pastels. Protect that dreamy scene with a topcoat. Thanks, Steve, love your channel.

@chrisharman4399 5 лет назад

Time spent with you, Steve, is never wasted. Thanks for this video using Yupo in a different way. I have used it with alcohol inks but this looks like a fun thing to try with it.

@dianeknott3655 9 месяцев назад

Gosh, Steve, fantastic! I haven't used Yupo in years. Yes, it's FUN, but extremely challenging. Yupo is perfect for your freestyle landscapes. I found what you did...once that base layer is down and you've added more here and there, realizing it was going to lift and do its own thing, that dabbing the details instead of pulling the brush through was the ticket. Absolutely LOVE this! Amazing job! Hope you framed it for yourself.

@Sglinert 3 года назад

I use Yupo for portable palettes. I cut a piece the size of the inside lid of my metal palette...but I also take extra pieces along, because after the paint dries, the sheets can be stacked and the paint reused. I've even splotched paint on them and put them into a small folder for super-portability when I don't feel like even hauling my travel palette. That said, one time the paint was "arranged" so prettily that I saved it as a "painting." It's great stuff.

@lollisim 5 лет назад

Really love your spontaneous painting, very beautiful colours coming out. In playing with yupo and watercolour I've found using lighter colours first (higher concentration of water) in a smaller area than anticipated and then going in with darker colours (low water concentration) gives a little more control as the lighter colours will pool against the thicker, dryer paint and it only pools back a little if you get the ratios right. I've also found with lots of water if you pat it down with a flat paper towel not bunched up, it will smooth out as it dries and be sort of like a flat wash. You really have to abandon traditional watercolour techniques to get any semblance of control but it's definitely fun.

@helgaleifsdottir5191 Год назад

@lennyburdick3192 5 лет назад

@wayneosborne56 5 лет назад

Thank you for this video, I really needed to you (Mr. Professional Water-colorist) use Yupo paper. I have had two packs, one small and one large for over 5 years now and ever time I tried, it was a complete failure. The results were awful. What I learned for you is mainly be patient with the drying process and don't be afraid to use other media. My preferred media is colored pencil. I never considered using them on Yupo; I will now. So thanks so much Steve; I really appreciate you channel. God Bless You In All That You Do. Amen!

@heatherk.8182 5 лет назад

I’ve had some fun experiments in Yupo doing abstract work. My favorite thing to do is us Daniel Smith’s moonglow with lots of water and letting the pigments separate. Adding some indigo and quin. magenta make some beautiful colors. I’ve used my hairdryer to push the paint around as it dries. After that, a matte varnish to seal it. Lots of fun when I just want to play with color.

@lauraatkocius8127 5 лет назад

Wow - you weren't kidding about Moonglow! I also used indigo and quin. rose. It's still drying, but I was wondering if you have the effect where the moonglow dries faster? I'm not sure if it was just the amount of water I used or a property of that particular color.

@heatherk.8182 5 лет назад

Laura Atkocius I’ve seen the moon glow drying faster as well. You can also speed it along with a hairdryer or heat tool and push the pigments around. Lots of fun!

@carolbaird3741 2 года назад

Fantastic! I just purchased some Yupo to try with watercolor. Or both acrylic and watercolor.

@annettefournier9655 5 лет назад

It just hit me. This would be an excellent vehicle to teach visualization of negative space. Since you lay the colors down and then you have to go around and lift off areas around the shapes you see to leave the positive shape. I haven't finished the video , I have to make dinner. But I have difficulty with negative space and this helps me see it. Hmmm. Worth trying! Thanks so much for your demo.

Good morning Steve. I have watched your tutorials regularly and enjoy your teaching style and always a beautiful outcome. I am a patron of Louise De Masi. I have painted off and on for several years. My last 5 year draught ended a few months ago. In all the time I painted our daughter has never asked me to paint a picture for her until now. I asked Louise who she would recommend to ask for advise on the picture and she suggested you... I had to agree.

@cynthiakeith8760 4 года назад

Sorry I touched send... The.picture is in a canadian desert in British Columbia. Our daughter, son in law have their 3 children are horse back riding. My skill level has not reached the point of specific detail but I want to be able to relay the kids doing something they love as a family. May I ask you how I can approach the sketching and painting techniques to work on this painting? I am hoping to give it to our kids as a Christmas gift.

@cynthiakeith8760 4 года назад

Sorry again.. I not I truly understand. I am retired, miss my work so much I casual where help is required in my area of training in healthcare . Especially now in the trying times of this pandemic... Hence painting time is less and having one artist in Patreon is more than I can handle. I can not keep up to Louise’s beautiful tutorials as it is in the future I want you to paint in landscapes as well... I will then ask to be a Patreon member with you as well. I love Louise’s realistic detailed work and I love your beautiful magic you do to create your landscapes... some day I will do both... getting back to my request. May I get your advise on how to paint our kids family picture? If not I fully understand. Take care. Stay healthily. Blessings. Cynthia Keith from Portage la Prairie Manitoba Canada.

This is just a very complex question to answer. Really not possible to answer in just a RU-vid comment. I don't know what the scene even looks like but painting people is tricky and takes practice. Do you have a more specific question I can answer about painting? What approach to take is a very broad subject to address.

ANOTHER AWESOME PAINTING, did you notice at position 31:57, in the middle purple section, it has the impression of a statue of an Asian man holding some water, I know it wasn't intentional, but by accident, it's even cooler. I was just wondering, very nice. Yupo looks like fun.

@jewellmoebus3260 Год назад

I've loved this demo & the examples you gave us. I've used Yupo a lot & at first it drove me nuts, but I had a friend who experimented with less water & got a more representative effect. Not the same as 140 lb cold pressed w.c. paper, but really quite beautiful. I've created some beautiful paintings letting it do its own thing, like swirling around as one color meets another (quite wet). Being AN IMPATIENT painter/person I had a hard time waiting for it to dry w/o moving it, but messed up some wonderful effects by lifting it up carefully but too soon & lost them or messed up what I had wanted to preserve. Like making a smooth wash, recreating/repairing something on Yupo is nearly if not impossible to do. If U accept it for the wonderful things it does & not try to use it like regular w.c. paper, its really fun & surprising. I'm going to try the w.c. markers like you suggested & see what I get. Thanks a lot, U r always instructive but this one was really special for me. Jewell

This was so fun to watch you experiment with the yupo paper. I was amazed by the incredible beauty of the natural shapes and lines that were created by the first wash along with the spray. I enjoyed watching you create a lovely recognizable subject out of it. I don't think I will try yupo paper with watercolors at this point, but I might try it with colored pencils. They seemed to lay down so smoothly. Did you notice if the colored pencils could be layered on this paper? Thank you!

They can layer a bit, yes.
