Painted Yupo background

This is what happened to the Yupo background I made earlier. The colors were so hot that it begged for something cold, so I added a steely eyed geisha, who, looking at her now, has Stephen Fry's chin. Not that this bothers me, because SF is one of my favorite people. I also used a stamp that I made sometime ago out of Mastercarve.

  1. I love this one! The geisha is fabulous, and the colors fit together perfectly! What did you use to paint this? Acrylics maybe? Yupo does sound rather unpredictable to me, but I guess that makes up a huge part of the fun of using it. ;)

  6. Yes, the colour combination is really nice in this one and I like the different layers and textures, and I really like the geishas eyes.

    I have never tried Yupo, is it hard to work on?
    Maybe something I have to give a try... and I love your idea with using salt, lots of inspiration : )

    And thanks for stepping by my blog and for your comments!!
