10 Frequently Asked Questions About YUPO
- How can I make a smooth, dark area? The colors just seem too light if I use the roller to get it smooth. This is frustrating. Can you help? ------- The trick to this is in layering colors on yupo AND THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO LAYER ON YUPO.
- How can I make that technique with the paint roller work? -------- Well, it has to do with moisture control. Too much water and it just won't work very well.
- Can I really layer colors? ------- Yes, it's tricky, but it can be done!!
- How do you get the paint to stay on the paper? Because the paint lays on top of the yupo, won’t the paint wash off? I use a Krylon UV spray. Sandy Maudlin is not spraying hers right now. I just ordered a special mask to keep from breathing in those fumes. Don't like that part! But I love to paint on the stuff!!!
- Will that paper melt? You know, I've actually dry mounted yupo at over 200 degrees (F) and it didn't melt; however, there are other cautions with yupo.
- What if I put a color down, but don’t want that color? How do I get it off the paper? Oh! That's one of the fun techniques! Come to the workshop, and I will show you how and so much more!
- What if my colors get muddy, is there something I can do about that? Yes, there is!
- How do you create textures on yupo? Oh, there are so many ways! Come and see!
- What if I don’t want it to be runny and drippy? What do I do about that? Again, it's all in the moisture control.
- What is the best way to frame yupo? There are actually several ways to do this. I have recently developed a more contemporary way of framing yupos. Come to the Opening Reception and you'll see that!!
