This extra-fine, European style transparent watercolor, known for its purity, permanence and brilliance, preserves the brush handling qualities inherent in Japanese watercolor techniques. Because it contains no oxgall, animal by products or other dispersing agents, Holbein watercolor moves slowly, allowing for greater color density and brush control. It has a creamy texture that remains smooth when dry and will not crack, crumble, chip or mold in the palette. To use, simply fill the wells of a palette with the desired color, permit to dry, then wet the color as if it were a pan color.

This video by Toronto artist D.D. Gadjanski demonstrates some of the different characteristics that set Yupo paper apart from other watercolor papers. Yupo is, in fact, NOT paper but a polypropylene sheet that’s silky smooth to paint on with acrylics, oils, watercolors, inks, or gouache.

  • colors stay intense because they don’t absorb into the paper, yet they are permanent
  • you can reactivate the watercolor easily and wipe out areas or soften edges
  • unique textures are possible due to the striking, sharp edges and puddling of paints on the surface
  • you can use wipe-out tools to draw back into the paint with more contrast than watercolor paper
