{"product_id":"yupo-watercolor-pad","title":"Watercolor Pad","description":"\u003cp\u003eSynthetic polypropylene sheets create completely different watercolor behavior than traditional cotton paper. Yupo's non-absorbent surface keeps pigments suspended on top rather than soaking in, enabling techniques impossible on standard watercolor paper. Colors stay intensely vibrant since nothing gets absorbed into fibers. Pigments remain workable longer, allowing you to lift, blend, and manipulate washes well after initial application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe smooth, waterproof surface encourages experimental approaches: alcohol effects, salt textures, and fluid manipulation produce unpredictable, organic patterns. Mistakes lift cleanly with a damp cloth or sponge, even after drying. This durability extends beyond corrections, finished pieces resist tearing and water damage, making them practical for pieces that need to withstand handling or outdoor display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeventy-four pound weight provides enough body to prevent excessive buckling while remaining flexible enough for various presentation formats. Each pad contains ten sheets of bright white, acid-free material. Artists working with fluid techniques, alcohol inks, or experimental mixed media find this synthetic paper opens approaches that traditional surfaces simply can't support. The learning curve differs from cotton paper, but the unique effects reward experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yupo","offers":[{"title":"11 in. x 14 in.","offer_id":47979519607013,"sku":"63462","price":26.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9 in. x 12 in.","offer_id":47979519639781,"sku":"66753","price":19.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s63462.jpg?v=1770307265","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.com\/products\/yupo-watercolor-pad","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
