This painting is done on yupo paper. This is synthetic paper that has a slick surface and does not absorb water. The results are unpredictable because the paint moves around in an uninhibited way. The artist has little or no control over what happens. The flip side is that sometimes the most amazing things happen, things that you couldn't paint with a brush if you tried! I was looking for a peaceful river scene with palms and a sandy beach. When I studied the painting I saw a lfigure at the base of one of the palms. I decided to emphasize this shape by creating a young girl and gave her a book to complete my painting.
