Yupo Watercolour Paper 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 those used
with oil painting.
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.
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.
