Thanks! I did scrape out the lines and light poles with the corner of a palette knife. This was sort of a quick sketch so there are probably a lot of errors if you look too closely. Another thing i do like about yupo is you can use it like a scratchbord.Those are fantastic. I don't know how you got the detail on the airplane on yupo, but it looks great. Thought I was looking at James Gurney's work for a moment (that is a compliment, I like his work, especially his watercolor and gouache stuff on his youtube channel. )
Did you scrape out the pavement lines, and the light posts in the background?
By the way, you should consider doing your yupo experiments on Youtube. You could get a following once people see your work. And others could learn how to use it.

I like your youtube idea but just don't have the camera equipment, but maybe someday. But you couldn't probably start that tomorrow since, if memory serves, your software records your brushstrokes. A lot of the youtube painters just add voice over commentary. You could probably get a monetized channel up and running in a matter of weeks. Have you seen Kevin Hill on youtube: He is like a contemporary Bob Ross and posts clips of his for sale full length videos. This is my favorite due to the moody quality of the final paintingIll have to check out the Gurney videos.

That's awesome! I sort of copied one of Kevin Hill's paintings for mountain practice. I'm sure the video is still up on youtube. Since then I went out West and took my own mountain reference photos I did a bad job with the sky but fixed it later but never photographed the update. It's acrylics on canvas 11x14.View attachment 270012
Colors! Live - mountain practice by tall73
After watching those videos, and looking at Barbarian's photos I had to try a mountain for practice. Fun attempt.
Not mine, my oldest son. He did the the drawing, his friend was the photographer. My kids are way more talented than me.
I am sorry to hear of his passing. Art is interesting in that it can leave behind memories.He had some sort of pad he could draw on attached to his computer. He passed away 10 years ago, so a very outdated item. They had only recently started collaborations. He was colorblind so he mostly sketched in pencil.

But, when he was young he'd get in trouble at school for doodling and I'd tell him to pay attention to his teacher, it was more important! Lol.
It was nice seeing a thread on art work. Keep it up! My youngest son is a musician and I have my own song too I learned from my mistakes.
