Intro to Watercolor Painting on YUPO Paper - Beginner's Level

Genre: Painting

Scared to try watercolor? Don't be! Give this synthetic paper a try - it wipes clean, doesn't buckle or rip, colors are more vibrant, and you can create amazing watery textures!

In this Intro class, you will learn the basics of watercolor painting on YUPO paper. YUPO paper is a synthetic paper which is very different from traditional watercolor paper. It is GREAT FOR BEGINNERS. The water and pigment do not absorb into the paper - this allows you to manipulate the pools of color until the water evaporates, creating fascinating watery textures. Also, most colors wipe clean from the paper, and the colors are more vibrant and bold!

I will go over supplies you need, we will do some experimenting and observing, color blending (using a limited palette of four colors), and you will be completing simple painting exercises all helping you get the feel of YUPO paper.

Basic skills/tips to be taught:

water/pigment rations

paint control

color mixing

erasing/lifting paint

Your final assignment will be to create a loose, impressionistic mini-painting of pumpkins on a vine using only 4 colors. I will walk you through every step! I can't wait to see some of the end results!
