Painting or drawing on YUPO ultra-smooth surface is different from ordinary watercolour or drawing paper and requires some adjustments from the artist.

The creative possibilities and uses are endless. Yupo – a smooth, non-absorbent substrate that dramatically changes the way you paint, print or draw. With this sheet you can capture nuances, patterns and shapes that were previously impossible on conventional watercolour and drawing paper. What makes it even more unique is its lifting quality. You can return to a painting when it is finished and re-create certain areas time and time again. You can build layers of paint like an oil painter working on a canvas, and then remove to reveal the white of the sheet. Remember that water activates the paint, even paint is deposited months ago. Allow Yupo to dry completely. Spray YUPO with a matt clear finish spray for sealing and protection. Only use a sealant after the job is complete, as rework and repairs are difficult to do after sealing.
