George James, AWS DF, NWS has developed a process that promotes predictable results and a creative flexibility unheard of on regular watercolor paper. In this film George demonstrates his techniques for achieving variegated washes, smooth washes, lifting, ghosting, splattering, stamping, carding darks and lifting whites. He creates rich surface textures and luminous dark passages. George is generous with his knowledge and clearly explains the theory behind his every move. The viewer will understand how to anticipate and create desired effects.

Excellent demonstration of many techniques using acrylic on Yupo
If you enjoy art technique videos with happy little trees and happy little clouds - you won't enjoy this one! However, if you appreciate a large variety of useful techniques and clear explanations of why it works like it does, this is the one for you. There are no representational images, only abstract, although any of the techniques will apply to representational artists.George James demonstrates acrylic paint used like watercolors with wet into wet, like oils with full-bodied paint, stamping with assorted items, blotting, rolling, misting with water and quite a few more techniques. He shows what happens when the under-layer has been allowed to dry and what happens when you deal with it wet. On Yupo, the effects and results are different than you'd find with any other base. The result was a painting about paint - and a pleasing one at that.

Buy it!!!!!
If you are interested in Yupo this is the best video available hands down. I have several and this is WAY BEYOND all of them put together! George James knows what he is doing and is able to explain it so well. Easy to understand. He has made Yupo and absolute JOY to me!!!

Excellent DVD
Covers the techniques wonderfully. George is very clear and explains things very well. Love this video. I do wish he would tell us if he uses a fixative after completion of a painting. I also want to know if Kimdura paper works the same because I have a lot of Kimdura paper.

Mastering Yupo
I saw this video in class a few years ago and would love to own it. Yupo is like nothing else and this video really creates the desire to explore and master it. Please let me know if ever you get it in stock again.
