Nice and springy, handles get smoother with age - a couple sizes are useful to have. The basic long, skinny triangle is my workhorse.

The things I've done on Yupo are - to me - wildly different because of the way the oils slide around on the surface. It can be somewhat frustrating and is way fun. Plus it wipes almost entirely clean if you use one of those rubber scrapers on it. I use Yupo when I specifically want to do something where I will really lose the detail and just knife the colors all over the place - and I want brilliance of paint (the slick white surface ensures that). Susan, I rather like the detail crop too! geez...more and more my paintings are zooming way the heck in. I guess it's the direction I'm headed for now. Interesting how work seems to go in big cycles... This is done on canvas. The things I’ve done on Yupo are - to me - wildly different because of the way the oils slide around on the surface.

I remember during the Summer, 2008, you showed us Yupo. I finally got some early last year, and still have yet to try it. I think it's because, like Susan mentions, something about the texture. I love the elk - the background, too! I’m curious, too. I remember during the Summer, 2008, you showed us Yupo. I finally got some early last year, and still have yet to try it.

I finally go to finger some last time we were in the Bay Area and stopped by the Dick Blick's in Berkeley. Interesting, but didn't really appeal to me. I like the tooth that canvas has. There's a local artist here who uses it and loves it. Love the pinkish reflected light on the underside of the antlers. And, FWIW, I really like the cropping on the detail.
