RE: TRAVEL SKETCHING 4.
May be... it´s a tricky technique. It is never dry. I can start painting on this surface in a month and it will take all what I just did up with it. It never gets permanenet. It´s weird. The artist who is living at the house we are staying in does wonderful things with it, he is called Akira Beard, you might like to check out his work. He gave me the paper to play with.
I just had a quick look at his work. Are they all done on that paper?
It sounds interesting! I'd love to play with that.
it is called Yupo https://yupousa.com/what-is-yupo/, about the properties: https://paintingdemos.com/painting-with-watercolors-on-yupo-paper-a-few-techniques/
searching availability here, found similar at Gerstaecker: https://www.gerstaecker.de/LANAVANGUARD-Universal-Malgrund.html
otherwise via Amazon or EBay. If imported from Blick in the US, you pay duty and tax plus shipping that at least triples the price. https://www.dickblick.com/products/yupo-watercolor-paper/
Great information, thanks Otto!
not all of it.... but some. I guess he will be joining us in Steemit soon also, it seems.
Thank you Otto for the research. I did correct the name. I just took the name verbally from Akira but didn´t look at his blog as we are surrounded by his original pieces here. Thanks for that Otto! ;-)
It never gets permanent
what medium? acrylic, watercolor? ink? did he explain why it would not dry?
I know a type of an oil paint that stays open forever until you heat-set it: http://www.genesisoilpaints.com/
is it this kind of paper - at Blick I found Yupo: https://www.dickblick.com/products/yupo-watercolor-paper/
OK, doing my research - it is Yupo paper (not Yupa), on his blog it is even a tag:
