watercolour on yupo paper

This is a watercolour on yupo paper that I painted of a cedar tree, from my window on a rainy day on Haida Gwaii.  Painting on this paper has brought me back to using my watercolours again since I had been using mostly acrylics on canvas.  I love how this synthetic, tree-free paper is so forgiving and can be wiped clean if I have made a mistake.  I also love the vibrancy, brightness and true clarity of the pigments and how the colours mingle with a wet on wet technique.
