Yupo Paper for Painting and Drawing, Multi 5-x-7-Inch

YUPO, a Remarkable Synthetic Paper

YUPO, a 100% recyclable, waterproof, and tree-free synthetic paper, has become a game-changer in the world of art and design. Extruded from polypropylene pellets at a quarter-mile-long manufacturing facility in Chesapeake, Virginia, YUPO boasts a variety of grades, weights, and thicknesses, spun into spools ranging from 725 yards to 7,500 yards in length and cut into widths from 6 to 66 inches.

YUPO's unique properties make it the perfect solution for a wide range of marketing, design, packaging, and labeling needs. Its smooth, bright white opaque and translucent finish provides artists with an amazingly beautiful canvas to work with, allowing them to achieve unique and creative results using various mediums.

Painting or drawing on the ultra-smooth surface of YUPO is a different experience compared to traditional watercolor or drawing paper, as the non-porous, water-repellent surface requires some adjustments from the artist. However, this unique characteristic also allows for the surface to be easily wiped clean, making it an excellent choice for beginners. For more advanced and experimental artists, YUPO's creative possibilities are truly infinite.

One of the most remarkable features of YUPO is its lifting quality. Artists can return to a painting and redo specific areas over and over again, building up layers of paint like an oil painter working on a canvas, and then taking them off to reveal the white of the sheet. This unique quality is further enhanced by the fact that water activates the paint, even paint put down months ago.

To protect the artwork, it is recommended to spray YUPO with a matte-clear finishing spray once the work is complete, as rework and touch-ups become difficult after sealing. This extraordinary surface also resists tearing and buckling, ensuring that the paper remains perfectly flat.

The YUPO 5 x 7 inch pad-white heavyweight sheets are not only incredibly durable and stain-resistant but also acid-free and made in the USA. This unique alternative to traditional watercolor papers has become a beloved choice for artists, designers, and creative professionals alike, who appreciate its ability to unlock new artistic possibilities and elevate their work to new heights.
