It's fun to play with and you gets lots of interesting texture but you can't overlay colors and I would spray seal it when done so it doesn't get moisture in it (even behind glass) or get fingerprints, etc, while matting and framing. I played with it a lot when I was first learning because my teacher loved it and used it a lot (still does, but with fluid acrylics now). If you use fluid acrylics, you don't have to worry about rewetting and losing something - but I wonder about putting acrylic on plastic and how that holds up. The YUPO people had me convinced until I heard bad stories about it from others who used it and saw it stretch in the sunlight, bring back moisture to a painting under glass that wasn't sealed, and yellow in a couple of years. So I'm still divided about it but do like to pull out a sheet to play and experiment on once in a while. Maybe Mark can tell you more about his experience so far?RH Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497161758269292809noreply@blogger.com
