UNWOUND
UNWOUND
Water media simply wipes off this slick plastic "paper" and you're right back to a totally white paper. This would seem to make it an unlikely substrate for a watercolor painting. What seems to be a terrible disadvantage has become a real fascination for artists all over the world. The joy of lifting, pushing, puddling, stamping, brushing, rolling, marking and just plain playing has led to an abundadance of creativity with techniques and styles never ending.
"Unwound" is my experiment with masking tape and Yupo and was part of the National Watercolor Society's 2015 Annual Show in San Pedro CA.

This last example is a card sent to a dear skiing friend. I treasure the memory of his excitement every morning as he watched this sunrise while driving up the mountain to meet his buddies "The Over-the- Hill-Gang" for coffee and then racing through the trees, down the slopes while singing "Oh Lord it's
Hard to Be Humble"
Of course they'd already lost me back by the creek!
Other examples of my Yupo work already on this blog are: Scarab, Wish You Were Here, No Wake Zone, and Sand Castles.
