I tried out Yupo paper the other day for the first time. It is a super glossy paper that seems not to absorb water at all, adding even more unpredictability to watercolors (or gouache - gouache seems to hold a bit better), but with some interesting and unexpected results. These aren't great, but I find them interesting:

| 2 minute gesture |

| 20 minute pose |
I was particularly surprised that my 20 minute poses were not a complete mess. Because it takes so long to dry, you can keep pushing colors around. Kind of intimidating, but interesting stuff. Now that I have a pad of it, I may as well use it up!
