Exploring New Dimensions: The Beauty of Mixed Media Portraits on YUPO Paper
As a mixed media artist based in Houston, I am always seeking innovative ways to bring my custom portraits to life. One of my favorite surfaces to work with is YUPO paper. Unlike traditional paper, YUPO is a synthetic, waterproof material that offers a uniquely smooth and non-porous surface. This allows for vibrant colors and incredible blending capabilities in my mixed media portraits, leading to unexpected and beautiful textures.
These images showcase the distinctive effects achievable with mixed media on YUPO. The way the inks and paints interact on this surface allows for a luminous quality and intricate details that truly make each portrait stand out. It’s a technique that allows for both precision and fluidity, resulting in captivating and contemporary pieces of art.
