(c) M Pruitt 2008After applying a variety of colors - including gold I let the it dry flat. After a lot of time studying the results, I decided it looked a like an abstract river bottom.
Paint removes very easily on Yupo - so I began to follow the patterns I saw and with a wet brush, removed areas of paint to create the ripples and bubbling water, swirling around rocks on the bottom of a creek.
Yupo has to be sealed - so I sprayed it with a Krylon sealant and this is the final result. An abstract watercolor!
It's 9"x11" and available in my Etsy store - The Creators Palette (click here)

This is gorgeous, Melanie! I've never been successful with YUPO paper. You have certainly mastered it.
Do you use the Krylon spray varnish?
It's beautiful, I love the colors you chose ! And now I want to get some Yupo and play with it, looks like lots of fun.
I could get lost in the swirls of this painting---very mesmerizing!
