Experimenting with YUPO

I've been playing with watercolours on Yupo (synthetic) paper. It has no absorbency so you can do different things with paint compared to normal paper. I've decided I LOVE it!

About My Art....

I've had a go at just about everything in the past...Card making, Art Journals, Collage/Mixed Media, Photography, Papercraft, Embroidery, and Scrapbooking.

I've moved onto fine art in the last few years, and my main interests are Landscape, Botanical and Wildlife art. As I get older I'm becoming more and more passionate about nature and conservation issues, and find these are the subjects I want to study and paint.

I've never had any art lessons at all, so I've learnt from books and videos. I like watercolours and coloured pencils (both the dry type and water-solubles).
