oil on Yupo, 6x8
in, 15x20cm
I painted this one yesterday, after Henri Edmond Cross, with his pointillist manner.
Yupo paper is quite new for me.
I read about it last year. Apparently, it was an odd support: you could mix water and dishwashing liquid and get nice effects in watercolour;
so, I bought it for gouache,but was not pleased with the result. I suppose I am not fond of impredicable things
This month, I tried again with oils, deciding to cover the surface with a layer of black acrylic,let it drying, and then paint.
it gives a smooth surface, easy to work with.; I will use it now, starting with small pieces (1/2 sheet, e.i. 6x7in).
Sylviane, thanks for calling our attention to this French Old Master! You did a wonderful job with "The Cliff" and Cross would be proud!
