This is a mini sample pad of the full sized Yupo Medium Watercolour
Paper pad. It contains 10 sheets of 120gsm paper measuring 9.5 x
6.3cm.Yupo is a non-porous, acid free and pH neutral, synthetic
paper which is machine made in the US from 100% polypropylene. It
is completely waterproof, stain-resistant and has become a unique
and intriguing alternative to traditional art papers due to its
strength and lifting properties. The super smooth surface allows
you to build up nuances and patterns that would normally be
impossible to achieve on traditional watercolour and drawing paper.
Because it can be wiped clean you have the option to return to
specific areas and redo them until they meet your standards, or to
build up layers of paint using a similar technique to the one used
with oil painting. Yupo is made from heated polypropylene pellets
which are then extruded to form the base and surface layers of the
paper, These layers are stretched to create a dimensionally
storable and biaxial-orientated substrate. This process means that
Yupo paper is exceptionally strong, opaque and has an incredibly
smooth surface. This paper easily resists tearing or buckling
meaning there is no need to stretch or treat in any way before you
start work. Yupo has an extra smooth surface and can be used with a
combination of media, including watercolours alcohol ink, acrylic
paint, monotype, offset printing, debossing oil pastel, graphite
and silkscreen.As an especially durable synthetic, Yupo normally
enters the waste stream at a far slower rate than conventional
papers. Since it is a polypropylene (PP) plastic film, it is fully
recyclable and will remain inert in any approved landfill. If
safely incinerated in a modern incinerator with an atmosphere of
excess oxygen, it will yield only water, carbon dioxide, and ash.
"Yupo is very different to normal watercolour paper(But still make
sure not to get greasy fingerprints on it) it stays flat, which is
a great bonus, the paint can go mad; which is fun and you can
pretty much rinse a sheet under a cold tap and start again. Masking
fluid doesn't bond to the surface, so make sure it's dry before you
rinse anything away as water will creep slightly under the masking
fluid. It's very different, it's fun to play with and well worth
trying." When you have completed a piece remember to spray the
surface of the Yupo paper with a matt clear varnish or finishing
spray so that the work will remain stable.
