For over twenty years, Spiritartist Sandy Sandy has been painting on beautiful, American made, eco-friendly, 100% tree-free, recycled Yupo paper. Yupo (pronounced You-Poe) is a pulp-free synthetic paper that helps conserve forests, water and other natural resources. It also produces zero ozone-threatening emissions during the manufacturing process. Yupo's slick surface requires techniques that differ from painting on traditional cotton rag. This Hibiscus Flower Tutorial is the first in Sandy's series of painting videos featuring the step-by-step process of creating on this exciting, forgiving surface. Check out this video and see why she often proclaims, "Yippee for Yupo!". Sandy is an enthusiastic instructor and demonstrator who is always eager to help people enjoy the creative process while encouraging them to freely express their own unique personality. Her hope is to share her love and passion for "creating" through expert methods and instruction while providing a spark of delicious inspiration for all. "Through my teaching, I want to inspire people to live a more visually aware, appreciative life. It is a proven fact that making art is linked to fewer cognitive problems in old age. Art is good for your health and your soul." See all her links on her website: http://www.SandySandyFineArt.com.
