YUPO is a "non-traditional" surface for creating unique and exciting works of art. It is a synthetic translucent paper, machine- made in the USA of 100% polypropylene that is waterproof, stain resistant, and extremely strong. This extraordinary, non-absorbent surface resists tearing and buckling and remains perfectly flat even when wet.
Painting on YUPO is an adventure! It is the most "free" surface possible and any watercolor technique works on it, such as wet on wet, wet on dry, dry brush on dry surface, “special effects” like the use of salt or alcohol, glazing and lifting. If an artist doesn't like what has been created, they can simply wash with water and start over! This makes it perfect for beginners as well as experienced artists. Works well with acrylics, alcohol inks, collage, oil pastels, pen and ink, pencil/graphite, mixed media and watercolors.
Artists will find that colors are more brilliant on YUPO than on traditional papers and mixing pigments right on the surface creates some exciting results. Once a work of art is finished, sealing it with two light coats of matte acrylic spray creates a permanent indestructible surface.
