Since moving to Yupo I have started to miss some of the qualities of my cold pressed papers, so I broke some out and had a go at a pygmy kestrel.
He’s not finished but since the major buckling of the cold pressed paper, I thought I’d stop mid stroke and try and flatten him out before resuming flooding the paper with water — I’ve been taking major liberties with how much cold pressed paper can take, forgetting that it isn’t my forgiving Yupo.
This snap shot into a painting before it’s finished may aid me in future paintings, to maybe hint to me when to stop before I overwork something to death ...
