If you are interested in traditional Watercolor on watercolor paper demonstrations,with a layering technique, you can go on my website for watercolor painting. I also post demonstrations on my painting blog .
On yupo paper I usually paint in a direct way, because layering is more difficult, still possible but kind of tricky. Here are a few pictures of the painting in progress. Apart from direct painting,I did some lifting with tissue paper and basically kept on working until I was satisfied with the result.

| This is my drawing on yupo paper, the graphite lines will still show after the painting is done but I like that effect.You can try to make lighter marks if you don't like them to show. | I am starting with the face, mixing colors on the paper as I go. | I left the eyes and lips area blank because I am waiting for the colors on the skin to dry before painting those areas so the colors don't mingle. |

| Same thing for the eyebrows, I paint them after the paint has dried on the skin. | It's easy on Yupo to lift some white just with a dry brush when the paint is wet or a wet tissue paper when the paint is dried. | Here I am starting to paint the background. |

| Here I am painting some very light shading on the tee shirt. | I paint the sleeves, starting with midtones and dark and will lift some whites later, when the paint has dried. | I am trying to get the right shade on the neck and am trying different colors. |

| I am adjusting colors on the hat and | different areas of the painting. | The finished painting, I added some darks for more contrast. |
