Astronaut Slouching

Using Yupo paper, a synthetic slick paper made from polypropylene, with acrylic paint has changed the way I work with acrylic. The paint glides onto the paper, making it easy to push around. Adding just a bit of water improves this feel.

I used generative AI to help actualize the idea for this painting. It's a tool that I've incorporated into my painting process that's become quite useful for creating reference material for challenging concepts.
