Blue Bird

By
The finished blue bird. Another experiment with the Yupo paper but this time I took a hard eraser to it to try to create highlights. I think I need a harder eraser to properly create highlights. The eraser residue ended up acting like a wax resits when I went over the areas with markers again. Created a really neat effect.

Obvs I finished this before my arm was put in a sling and I want to do some more experimenting with the Yupo paper but it will have to wait until my arm feels better  :(

    What an interesting discovery; I wonder if the eraser would have the same effect with watercolours on Yupo? I have been playing with Yupo and water colours lately and having a blast. Your blue bird is lovely.

    thanks Chris :)was bit of a happy accident

    thank you carol :)

    Island Wren, it should have the same effect since the markers use here are water based :) might try next with watercolours :)

    thanks Lisa :) it is fun, frustrating sometimes lol but still fun :)
