Sunflowers In A Blue Vase. 4.5 x 6 watercolor on Yupo. 2015 Sheila Delgado
Two quick studies, trying to use paint still left in my palette. Paint is a terrible thing to waste. Amazingly, I did not have to make any adjustments in Photoshop, this is exactly how the original looks. Yay Yupo!
The combination of blue and white is an old favorite of mine. Blue and anything. Just blue alone. That sounds like a title for a poem. Here is one for the tree.
Alone with myself
The trees bend to caress me
The shade hugs my heart.

Leaning Tree. 3 x 4 watercolor on Yupo. 2015 Sheila Delgado
As if to whisper
perhaps listen to my thoughts,
my friend the sentry.

Love the poetry, and I especially like your blue tree.
That little tree was just for practice, but I thought it was too pretty not to share it. Thanks for stopping by Teresa 🙂
Love it, especially the leaning tree. 🙂
Thank you Katie 🙂
Yupo is wonderful to paint on. Very addicting for sure. and I’m with you on not wasting any of my watercolor paint…. love these
Thanks CheyAnne 🙂
Nice tree, Sheila. Blue really sets the mood doesn’t it.
It does 🙂 Thanks for visiting April 🙂
Lovely paintings Sheila. I’ve never heard of yupo before. What is it?
It is synthetic paper. “Plastic” It is very smooth, and the paint can be washed right off if you want to start over. There is more info here http://yupousa.com/what-is-yupo/ and if you want to see work from a Master Yupo artist, check out Sandy’s work http://www.sandysandy.com/. Yevgenia Watts also paints on Yupo, she has some awesome videos here, http://yevgeniawatts.com/how-i-do-it/
How does one waste watercolor paint? It doesn’t go bad and can be reconstituted with water. I almost cringe when I see people wipe out their palettes – use the paint, add a different color – paint a small picture but don’t just wipe it up and throw it away. I like you little flower pic – yupo is so great for bright colors
Exactly Val! Seeing the paint still in my palette… it was calling to me! I agree, Yupo makes the colors glow!
