Here's the paper I bought for this video: amzn.to/2xtFnV0 Also check it out, I've reopened Peter's Doodle Club, there's lots of cool stuff going on over there, like early video releases, art raffles, personal doodles, and cool things like that! www.patreon.com/peterdraws

This paper sounds like a nightmare yet you still managed to make this beautiful peice of artwork.

I love this. Looks like a background in a Dr. Seuss book.

For some reason this was really fascinating to watch, I can't explain it just something about it

YAY! You had fun! In order to not have the oily finger prints, you can wash Yupo with dish soap first. Though, I wager a lot of people are pretty excited that your finger prints are there. :)

It looks perfect!

Oil from your hands(or lotion) will make any liquid repel. I use alcohol ink on yupo, and then do pen work on top. Alcohol ink dries FAST! and are vibrant colors. That is the biggest reason I started using the alcohol inks. The luscious colors, dropping and dripping it, blowing it, or painting with it. Lots of fun. Enjoyed watching you work on top of color.

You can make anything work Peter, amazed as always 😊

I love how I can be skeptical of the piece's outcome for 2/3rds of the video, and then be super impressed by the end result.

It's so nice to see it flow in timelapse

this is one of my all time favorite pieces from peter. it's just so colorful and pretty. definitely somethin i'd want on a notebook or something

Peter! You should try doing some paintings with resin if you can get your hands on some. I think you could make something pretty awesome. There's a style of resin painting that is messy but can be so beautiful.

absolutely beautiful, peter. great work. i could see this easily becoming an album cover for some experimental indy band or something, ha ha.

Does Peter has a video talking about his favorite pens or markers he uses? Because the ones he used here are absolutely beautiful!

What a beautiful piece...really inspiring. I love that you put your work up in his way, it's helping me a lot with being more fluid and secure in my own art.

your new avatar kinda looks like that guy from buzzfeed

I love using Yupo! I'm glad you tried it :)

Wow! Very soothing to watch and absolutely beautiful end result

Much love and respect to you and your channel. I love all of your art. Been watching your channel for years. This looks fun

lovely vid, had to watch it again...love those wonderfully organic worlds you create and liked how the watercolour dried in puddles...nice voice too

Love your commentary, thank you.🙂

I really like the outcome of this piece. It looks very interesting and I think I could look at it for hours and discover new forms in there!

when you combine watercolour and pen work it's simply incredible!

Peter! The anti colour blobs coming out of nowhere was created by the resist of the oil from your fingerprints. You can still see the texture in your thumb print in those areas. 😊

Hi Peter, Thanks for this video & thanks for your AMAZING voice! I was happy to find a picture of you to go with your voice....you look exactly like you sound & your sound ( and your BEAUTIFUL art) makes me very, very happy. Thank you for making me, & so many other people, so very happy! You are well loved & admired and we appreciate your creativity. It’s a lovely gift to us all!😊✌🏽🙏🏾

Excellent vid.Thanks. I was curious about this paper. Appreciate your honesty.

I love this.. so abstract

Happy I found your channel! Thank you for a lovely tutorial. I just purchased some Yupo paper, so this tutorial was very informative. Your masterpiece turned out beautifully!

Awesome work!!

oh my this is so beautiful

Beautiful colors. I love the bright pink you achieved

This turned out so pretty😍😍

So happy I found this!!!!

so beautiful

I love this piece!!

This turned out really nice!

O WOW!!! Love this.

i think this paper is worse for the environment? the way some companies make paper now is they only trim trees, not cut them down, since clearing entire forests means you'll get a lot of paper at once, but then you'll have to cut down more and more... trimming them is more efficient. so yeah tree-paper is better for the environment than plastic-paper

Woaa! The watercolor in the paper looks like an alive thing

so sad i cant buy this omg. make prints! this is so lovely and unique!

Mesmerizing!

It looks so cool in the end :o

It looks great!

Please do more watercolours. I love what you do with paint and ink. Gorgeous!

Interesting and I appreciate this info!

Woah 🙌 amazing work

thank you for this video it makes me feel very good

love it!!

@Peter Draws Thank you for sharing your experience with Yupo .. Plus, the commenters have added, are adding, their owns tips, Which I find quite useful too. I do not know yet if you are still posting, Because I just found your channel, this March 2024, But I am subscribing anyway just to go on a discovery of your other work. Thank you again for all you did and do.

That is most beautiful watercolor painting I have ever seen in my entire life. Not lying.

phenomenal

Honestly if I had this style and creativity mind set of art peter my main man of art I love it.

We love you too Peter. We do. We do.

this is BEAUTIFUL

I really love the color scheme in this one

Yupo is wonderful. I like to draw on it with super black ink and I use salt, alcohol, i scratch back into the marks with a needle-like tool and acrylic paint removes any ink previously dried on the page, but acrylic creates a nice contrast in material.

I love your pen marks. Wow. So cool.

That's a beautiful piece of art.

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading! By the way the fingerprints look amazing

Along with paint pouring, resin pouring/resin art seems really interesting to me. I first saw Peter Brown do it (and when I just searched "peter brown resin" to make sure I was right with it the video was the first or one of the first to come up), and then I watched some other people do it, and it's really interesting how it works and the unexpectedness of how it can turn out. I take comfort in having control over my artwork and the basic knowledge of how I'd like it to end up looking, similar to what you were saying, but I do really love, in certain situations, going into a piece not knowing how it's going to come out. Especially if it's something I have less control over. I love working with probability and randomness and potential possibilities; not looking up to a certain idea and hoping it works out, but anticipating-the not knowing and the eagerness to create from an abstract or vague idea, and the possibilities at my finger tips from which I should push myself to weasel out something different and individual. (Not from "every other art piece" or something, 'cause that's fuckin' nearly impossible and highly improbable pLUS god no don't set yourself up for that!!, I just mean, something that I like. Something I feel I can call mine. A work that I can find to be a piece of its own, as opposed to 'just something else I've created'. I know that doesn't really make sense. Uhhhh...) Anyways! About the randomness thing, I've recently been getting into and using a lot of d&d generators of different varieties, and I really enjoy them. I'm all over the place now. Whoops. [gee, for my own sake I also need to clarify: this isn't me trying to tell you or anyone else that you should be feeling the way I feel about this or that or these or those, etccc. I just sort of got distracted and did a little vent about art and creating, the things that I very much love. I'd recommend at least looking into resin art and d&d generators, if you ever feel like it or have the time! (And if you've already done these things and I've just missed them, aha, sorry for the pesky comment.)]

I like what you did, Peter! Nice video :)

It came out really nice

Why are so good peter

Every time I finish watching one of your videos I end up saying "genius". Your work is inspiring

awesome video!

I got the chance to use this paper in my high school art class! We worked with alcohol inks on the paper. I too like to have more control of my designs, the inks seemed to allow giving more control over what you're doing.

I feel like I just climbed inside your mind & eavesdropped on your thoughts....the commentary was very entertaining.

I don't know how many times I watched this video, but every time it feels like magic to me. Peter Copperfield!

I love this piece

I really like the fingerprint resist!

Cool i have been waiting long for this video

First time hearing about Yupo! :O Sounds really cool and watching you watercolour it makes me wanna get it!

Yupo is good for alcohol inks because they dry quickly and you can get some really cool effects on non-porous surfaces. As for the oil deposits, I thought the fingerprints added a cool dimension to the piece, but if you want to avoid them just wipe it with some rubbing alcohol first. It will clean off the oil and drys quickly.

This is one of my favorite pieces you have made. I see a space cavern.

I started using yupo in 1999 when it was called Ezi-cut- and used watercolour and others , still use it today and it does take a while to control a fairly uncontrollable medium combo

This is really pretty.

this sounds like a paper that would be useful for soft pencils to get a really painterly look. Or pastels.

peter you have gotten me addicted to lines.

This actually looks like just he kinda paper I was looking for. Honestly When I got some watercolors I was thoroughly disappointing with how much control I was given in what the final product looked like. I just wanted something that I could do when I was feeling artistically exhausted, which in my mind would have been just throwing colors onto something and just letting the water swirl around and do the cool things that it does on my palette (which is plastic), which I then would use as the guide for whatever the drawing was going to be. Ya know? Its like giving all the control to the liquid physics, than letting it dry and drawing stuff on top, I imagine it would be very therapeutic and relaxing, BUT normal water color paper doesn't do that. SO I will be getting me some of this wonderful yupo stuff and seeing if its what I was looking for. Thanks for the video peter. Y'know?

if peter responds to this he wins a hug

Best voice overs, very entertaining

Before painting on Yupo, wipe it down with alcohol and then wipe it dry. That takes care of the oily bits.

i love this it looks like something out of a dr seuss book

Yupo is fun. I also use 'for sale' signs I get from Walmart and mylar for a similar feel.

This is fantastic, my favourite thing you've ever done.. Maybe.

It's recyclable! I really like it...

The struggle is real. Id love to see you do a drawing using q-tips doing a negative drawing with a background of watercolor. Your finish product was very cool.

To me it looks like what imagination would look like if it could express itself 😆🌟🎨

the final piece reminded me of some of Alex Pardee's art!

If you did the sketchbook slam challenge your result would look so awesome!!

I love Yupo paper! Its fun to fill spray bottles with watercolors and spray it onto the paper, and then draw over it after it dries. Its definitely a challenge, but its pretty entertaining.

Best one yet 😍😍😍

i looooooooove this

I just subscribed because I love this video, your wonderful, soothing voice and soulful attitude! Please do a pour video!!

Yay the I love you is back

“Like, I wanna put color here! And it was like, no color here!” 😂 thank you for the great video, always awesome seeing people do awesome things that they enjoy. Cheers

I like hearing you just talk. :) great Video

I wondered how yupo would react to watercolour niw I have seen this I'm going to get some I love this

This is so. Fucking. Cool. Oh my god. The finished piece turned out AMAZING. I've just been staring at it for the past 5 minutes. So good.
