This is my second experiment with this special japanese paper Yupo that I got given to try on.
This time I just let myself free with no conclusion.
I like the fist image at that stage better than how I left it finally... but that is the risk of playing around with no goals.
Best Wishes from California! Romanie

First I love the colour palette one of my favs, but I like that in a way you are letting the paper be an artist in this work. It is getting to make decisions about paint flow and placement. Really great results too, good 'collab' ;)

I agree with you, Romanie. I prefer the image in the first stage too. But the final is also not so bad :)

Both stages are beautiful in different ways. Are you planning to take this one further, later on?

May be... it´s a tricky technique. It is never dry. I can start painting on this surface in a month and it will take all what I just did up with it. It never gets permanenet. It´s weird. The artist who is living at the house we are staying in does wonderful things with it, he is called Akira Beard, you might like to check out his work. He gave me the paper to play with.

It never gets permanent
what medium? acrylic, watercolor? ink? did he explain why it would not dry?
I know a type of an oil paint that stays open forever until you heat-set it: http://www.genesisoilpaints.com/
is it this kind of paper - at Blick I found Yupo: https://www.dickblick.com/products/yupo-watercolor-paper/
OK, doing my research - it is Yupo paper (not Yupa), on his blog it is even a tag:

I just had a quick look at his work. Are they all done on that paper?
It sounds interesting! I'd love to play with that.

it is called Yupo https://yupousa.com/what-is-yupo/, about the properties: https://paintingdemos.com/painting-with-watercolors-on-yupo-paper-a-few-techniques/
searching availability here, found similar at Gerstaecker: https://www.gerstaecker.de/LANAVANGUARD-Universal-Malgrund.html
otherwise via Amazon or EBay. If imported from Blick in the US, you pay duty and tax plus shipping that at least triples the price. https://www.dickblick.com/products/yupo-watercolor-paper/

Thank you Otto for the research. I did correct the name. I just took the name verbally from Akira but didn´t look at his blog as we are surrounded by his original pieces here. Thanks for that Otto! ;-)

Good point, aside of your two sketches. For me, both beautiful.

Beautiful colors. I like the second one a lot, for me it's an underwater world and the tentacles with the white spots are octopuses.
