This is a not-quite-finished sketch of a 19th century marble sculpture in the North Carolina Museum of Art, on translucent 'Yupo' with watercolor pencils. Yupo is a synthetic material which is great fun for drawing or watercolors; it is completely non-absorbent and it is like children's fingerpainting - the paint just slides around, and if you don't like the results, just wash it off in the sink. The photograph is deliberately sloppy to show the translucence of the material; the more familiar Yupo is opaque white.
