Back to yupo! This looks good. But I am not sure what I am looking at with the overlapping.

By the way, have you ever tried goauche on yupo?

Thanks! The lobster is a 2d watercolor on yupo painting. I cut it out to make it look in perspective. The white of the paper is not a perfect rectangle but cut in perspective to make it recede. The lobster and white rectangle are on the same plane. The cast shadows make the lobster pop out.I canI then can put it on any surface and film it. (Or I could permanently attach it) Here is a pic on the floor so u can see the shape of the yupo

I like gouache.. I did a few after watching a lot of James Gurney YouTube videos

Thank you, that makes more sense now. Interesting effect.

Thanks! Sometimes you see this technique used on billboards. I remember a billboard for an exterminator where the designer put ants in it and had the ants extend beyond the rectangle for a 3d effect
