I haven’t really played around with Yupo with watercolours since 2016, and I really want to experiment a little more with it.
I used a ball point pen and pencil for the underlying drawing, watercolour and finished off with Indian ink. It’s a bit of a fight finding pens which stay on the paper even with light pressure from brushes. None of my fineliners were up to it, which is unfortunate as I think ball points have such ugly lines.
Gel pens were also out of the question for detail because of the tacky way the paint dries, so in the end he was saved by some paint pens which I used for the white accents and now waits in my shop for a new home.
