Leap of Faith
Acrylic, Graphite, and Charcoal
on Yupo
17.20" x 23"

I have been working on Yupo for the past few weeks. It has a lovely smooth surface. The graphite and charcoal glide across the surface. It accepts the paint and also resists it. It is a fascinating and seductive material to work on.

Generally I do not incorporate a lot of texture in my work. I prefer implied texture, even when working on canvas. However, I find myself building and manipulating texture on the Yupo, both actual by building layers that have more body and implied by layering paint of different values and transparencies.

I have no idea where this is all leading me to, but I am enjoying the trek.

Beautiful! I like the use of charcoal in this, too. I have never tried the use of charcoal on yupo, but am intrigued!
Love it, Tanner!
Thanks Helen and Stan. I love how different this surface is, very freeing and leads to lots of experimentation.
