Discover the magic of combining Yupo synthetic paper, watercolors, stencils, and acrylic gel to create stunning, mysterious paintings that will captivate everyone!
In this video, I'll walk you through an innovative technique that transforms Yupo-a recyclable, waterproof, tree-free synthetic paper-into the perfect surface for watercolor art. If you’ve ever struggled with watercolors on Yupo (it’s notoriously tricky!), you’re not alone-I used to avoid it too.
But with the addition of acrylic gel and a stencil, we’ll trap the watercolor beneath a protective layer, creating vibrant, textured designs you won’t believe came from watercolors. This process solves the common frustrations of layering and lifting, opening up a whole new world of creative possibilities.
Sound confusing? Don’t worry-it’s so much easier to show than to explain. Watch now and see the magic unfold!
