We now have the beginning of a painting. This is watercolor on polypropylene and it is perfect for this as we will achieve a lot of texture with this "yupo" paper.
In the second step I use a foam roller, which is a general purpose paint tool for painting a room. I smooth out the background for contrast with the textures of the arrangement.
Next we add the touches of color which are the tulips, freesias and ornamental cabbages.
The final picture shows the finished painting with all the color and texture
because we used the perfect smooth surface to paint on called "yupo."
