New "Canvas" for Artists - How to paint on Yupo

 

I have fallen in love with Yupo.  Watercolors have never been more brilliant. Textures and special effects are unlimited.

Let me tell you about Yupo 

Introduction to YUPO

I'm am so excited about the "look" of my art on Yupo that I just can't stop. You can see some of my finished pieces at: http://www.patkamerath.com

BIG TIP by Pat
Adding texture to your painting increases interest and uniquenes and thus value. Try lace and cheesecloth, glass beads or colored foam...limited only by your imagination.

Naming your Paintings

Naming your works can be difficult. Sometimes I know the title while I'm painting. However, I usually wait until I'm totally finished. I move the piece around the room and it patiently waits for me to call out its name. The abstracts are the hardest to name. I sometimes take the piece out of the studio and sit it where friends and visitors can see it. When people notice an abstract, it is hard for them not to say, "It looks like...". I listen for a recurring theme. If you want to sell your work, it usually helps to have your title match the buyer's expectation.

Hello.  I am Pat Kamerath.  I enjoy life and love to show artists what they can do with Yupo.

I have been involved in various creative activities all my life.  As a child, I made mud pies, paper dolls and filled as many color books as I could get.

As an adult.  I tried every craft going around, made wreaths and floral arrangements.  When my children were small, I did several oil paintings, but had to soon quit because of hepatitis.  I tried doing watercolor, but was very disappointed.  Various life challenges, followed and I was sure I'd never paint again.  But fate stepped in.  A friend took me on a two-week cruise, where watercolor painting classes were offered.  I tried again, with much success.  The art critic on board, wanted to buy one of my paintings "The turtle".

I came back home with a new passion and goals.  Took more classes and workshops, taught classes, entered shows.  Have been accepted and won prizes in various shows and am continuing to do so.  The cruise was 1993, and it has taken me on the most exciting journey of my life.
