This is a mini sample pad of the full sized Yupo Translucent
Watercolour paper pad. It contains 10 sheets of 153gsm translucent
paper that measure 9.5 x 6.3cm.Yupo translucent sheets will help
you see colour from a new perspective, the slick papers can be a
great starting point for a variety of media. They are designed for
backlit applications and combine strength with excellent light
diffusion. 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-proof 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.
