I enjoyed taking some floral photos on my recent trip to Ontario. The daffy’s [Lent Lilies in GB] were out en masse and today I painted these on Yupo synthetic paper. I’m enjoying painting on this surface… it’s a very nearly out of control feeling. Except when it’s totally out of control!!! It’s a fun challenge though. I laid down a field of yellow, greens [made with two yellows and thalo blue], and a bit of violet. I lifted out the white flowers once it dried and the Yupo was neatly stained by the thalo blue. It made for a nice white.
Tomorrow I’m off to Mentor’s Day at the Leighton Centre. It should be a fun day of learning. Cheers!

very nice! just yesterday i messed around with some yupo for the first time. I used thalo blue and is stained - like you said. I washed it all off and will play around some more. Very interesting paper!
