Re: Small study on Yupo

JJ, thanks......you've got me hooked on mono's now .......I love playing around with Yupo, it's exciting yet frustrating at the same time and you never know what you will get. Do have a go at it and surprise yourself!!...

Thanks Uschi, I love to experiment...

Glad you like it Tracy, thanks...

Thanks, Kathy and it's not easy but it's sooo exciting....

Pam, thanks so much...

Pat, thanks, so glad you liked it, maybe I'll do the larger version in full colour....

Re: Small study on Yupo

I have tried Yupo and am amazed that anyone can get anything out of it, let alone something as nest as this. Look forward to the larger one.

I'm afraid of Yupo myself; this is a great use of Yupo.

Re: Small study on Yupo

YUPO!!! Amazing stuff. I have got to get mine out again. I love what you did in the mono with the trees. IMHO, I'd do the mono again in bigger and forget the full color. The mood of the blues is striking. I can't imagine trying to redo a small yupo into a much bigger. It seems everytime I use the stuff something else happens. I have ZERO control over it. I'm not sure if it's possessed or me..........lol
