A great imaginary is something good to have
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...
Woooow! 😍😍😍
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Amazing - I love it!
No matter what you paint , it always turns out beautiful . This is no exception , love it Steve ! Thank you!
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 🐶
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.
Vraiment magnifique. Bravo...
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.
Wow thank you so much, this is magical...
Steve you are seriously the God of Watercolour
Fabulous!
I would love to see this done in Gouache, I think I will try that today as I have Yupo!!
Gorgeous!!
Loved this video because it wasn't edited and makes a real change. Because you are such a fantastic artist you created a wonderful landscape, thank you for showing us.
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.
BEAUTIFUL
Love it!
Thank you for sharing this information on Yupo paper. I bought some sample pads to see if it would be good for Pen & Ink drawings. It is a challenge!🤬🤣 I loveyour painting it looks like a wonderful forest landscape on the back of a bear!
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.
@@CactusThorn Huh?
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!
couldn't agree more 100% well said. Steve you are amazing
It is so much fun to watch you paint this, and exciting to see the progression of the painting! It is a wonderful piece!! Thank you so much.
Wow! You can paint on ANYTHING! Gorgeous! Thanks Steve.
I used it years ago. Pleased with it
Watercolor on plastic 😬 you always amaze me!
Love this
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!
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.
I really enjoyed this and would enjoy seeing more off the cuff experimenting. Your enjoying of the magic of watercolor is contagious.
So beautiful. Thank you for all the fun wise videos Steve.
Color based pencils look good
Bravo! Grazie.
très très beau bravo l'artiste
That was a nice adventure with you...thanks!
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!
Thanks for the journey you took us on! I love how excited you were discovering all the textures you can get with Yupo. Those happy accidents are on of the reasons why I changed to watercolours from acrylics 2 years ago, and the excitement continues!
Thanks Steve. Haven't tried it. Have some around. You make it tempting. As always, informative and enjoyable.
Gorgeous
I am amazed
Simply AMAZING!!! Love it!!
Very interesting. Something to try.
Thanks so much for this demo! It gives me a new vision as to how I might use YUPO paper. Watercolor on YUPO definitely has 'a mind of its own'!!
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.
So fascinating
Fantastic! I just purchased some Yupo to try with watercolor. Or both acrylic and watercolor.
What a beautiful painting and fantastic scene. I loved the commentary and your expression of excitement.
Thank you!!! Fascinating, exciting, informative, instructional and very generous. And a lovely painting to look at as well!
Absolutely love this video. Gorgeous results.
Wow, your impromptu landscapes are always amazing! The waterfalls and the pools just the whole organic look but I guess that was kind of the object of the exercise. Beautiful!
Thanks Richard!
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 😊
“...but happy accidents. Try to let it do its thing! ...” Love it. I really like how your splatters made them work for you. Just great. Thanks!
Love u Steve! So helpful you are my favorite watercolor artist on UA-cam!
I loooove your style
Incredibly beautiful. Wow.
well done on a totally unforgiving medium!
Yup, OH! You are fantastic!
I'm commenting as I watch you. I get so excited about Yupo, it's such an amazing paper. What you did, has me excited to try something besides an animal!
I love this!! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Great demo!
I have used yupo using wet inwet and drop in colors let dry then lift out where you want. I have painted flowers and landscape. I prefer to paint flowers on yupo.
This just stunning! I love your work! To me, this has an ethereal quality to it.
I absolutely love absorbant ground. ❤️
Beautiful
I think this is one of the most informative art videos alive ever seen! Thank you!
I was mesmerized watching that painting develop and was awed by the finished piece. The right hand area put me in mind of Arthur Rackham's work, with all its beautiful roots and rocks tangled together.
Love Rackham!
So much fun and lots of good tips! Mahalo.
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.
Wow, Steve. I had been wondering about Yupo, but had never seen anyone work with it, and did not know anything about how it worked. This was a fascinatining video. I also learned a lot of other tricks and stuff just like I always do when I watch you paint anything. Thanks so much. This was such fun. I am going to watch it again, and get out my paints, but whether I try Yupo remains to be seen!
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.
Wow! You should definitely do more videos like this, I learned so much ! That is one awesome painting!
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.
I would love to see you use yupo paper more often! I haven't found anyone that uses it quite like you do and I'm absolutely in love with the finished result of this piece
Cool vid! I'd love to see you do another tree base with all the roots. Great detail work in that one!
I’m so inspired with your bravery! I bought Yupo to try alcohol ink, so now I want to try my watercolors on it. I love impressionistic and abstract so I gotta try this. Worse that can happen is use alcohol and wipe the Yupo clean.....whoo hoo!
This is THE most awesome painting! 💜💜
Your work is absolutely amazing.
Really like what you do and your instructions.
I had recently started using Yupo for a show and love it. Your landscape really added to how beautiful this paper is - thank!
Beautiful Thanks
really amazing! I can't wait to try Yupo.
You are a watercolor magician, Steve. Your patience is awe inspiring, and your connection to your medium and surfaces is admirable.
Aww, thanks so much Denise! That is so nice! Sometimes I think that watercolor is the magician and I'm the assistant! 😂 Which is part of the thinking behind the name for my channel.
awesome!!
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.
Watching you make this take shape was amazing!
Just recently bought Yupo and I love it! Bought Taylor Ikin's Yupo video and it really helped me learn how to use it. Different than your video here so now I've learned even more! Thank you!!!
This is incredible! You really work wonders with a brush, especially on a surface as ornery as this. I loved hearing your enthusiasm as you tested and discovered, and so I appreciate this video's loose format. I've got some sample sheets of Yupo that might just need to be played with, now. Thanks, Steve!
I love the description you give it, "ornery" - that's perfect!😊
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.
Wow, love what you created!
This is beautiful! Yes, please do more. I have acrylic gouache I've never used that I'll have to try. Probably would be more permanent tho. Thanks for inspiring me!!
One word...AMAZING!!!
Wonderful! I think you can declare - "veni, vidi, vici"! 👏 Hope you get a chance to try this again. Thanks Steve.
BEAUTIFUL!!
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.
Amazing results!
I love your videos. They're funny and full of great information!
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!
amazing...........turned out to be a fantastic scene.
Wow! I love this painting. I want to give it a try tomorrow. Would love to you use pencils on Yupo as well.
