Greetings, oh busy, busy painters.
I've been trying Yupo again and I have made two discoveries- well, at
least discoveries to me: the first is that altho the publicity indicates
that Yupo can be washed/scrubbed back to white, I find a ghost of an
image remains that can mess up corrections or re-paintings; the second
discovery is that if one paints on Yupo with acrylics, the initial layer
acts much like watercolour in that you get weird textures; however, once
the paint is dry, subsequent layers go on as if on paper- as long as the
layers are over the dried acrylic.
Any chance of a Nobel prize in the arts for these discoveries?
My question is "Once one has painted the acrylics on the Yupo, can one
use an acrylic spray and then frame the painting as if it were acrylic
on canvas?"
not George, but still curious
