I get a lot of questions about the salt I use to create the effects I get in my paintings. I have not really given much thought to it in the past, but I recently noticed that my table salt is non iodized and this lead me to wonder if this might be why I get the effects I do. If it's not the salt, then what else could it be? I start of this video with a bit of experimentation and then I move on to creating a geologic abstract. I like to keep my process simple and fun! This week is no exception. I hope you'll either learn something while watching this video or at the very least, I hope you'll feel inspired to get painting!

Here’s a list of the materials I used for this painting: (*** I now have the ability to monetize my site. This means I can include links to the products I use and when you make a purchase using some of these links I will get a small commission. ( This applies to the Amazon links in this description and KZbin Shopping Affiliate links included in my video. ) Any purchases made by using these links help me earn a little bit of money along the way, so I can continue doing this work. Please note that I will only ever add links to products that I actually like and use. Thanks in advance!***)

Here is a really great video explaining why more expensive watercolor paper might work better than student grade paper: • What You Should Know A... . I use different grades of paper for different types of painting. There is nothing wrong with less expensive watercolor paper, especially when you are first starting out. However, it's important to know it does have limitations.
