What you will learn
It’s time to loosen up! This is the workshop that will help you learn to let go and enjoy the expressive spontaneity of watercolour painting on Yupo, a waterproof plastic ‘paper’ that forces the paint to sit on the surface rather than sinking in, producing vibrant colours and amazing textural effects.

Working on Yupo is like nothing else you have ever tried. It’s EXCITING, WONDROUS, TOTALLY UNCONTROLLABLE and gives you space to explore your imagination. Painting on Yupo gives you a feeling of total exploration. There is nothing else that will keep you so totally absorbed.
With all the tricks and techniques that Julie will show you, you will be able to take control and be amazed at the results you will create. So much fun to be had!
