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.
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. "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." This
is a pad of 10 sheets of 153gsm Yupo Translucent Watercolour Paper.
Each sheet measures 5 x 7in and is translucent for even light
dispersal.
