Tips for adding salt to watercolor (time lapse salt action!)

[@OxO0Oo00]

that's so dreamy, I love the snow wonderland! Thank you for explaining the watercolour and salt technique

[@ecleARTia]

This is the most beautiful demonstration of the salt effect on watercolor. Thank you!

[@rebeccawong1]

I love the unknown and the surprises, hence water colour 🥰

[@arlenemurphy804]

Beautiful

[@sherrywoods4630]

Oh, wow. It is stunning. The sense of movement is fantastic. I love everything about this painting. I’m going to give salt another go - like right now! You sure do distract me from all of the things on my to-do list.

[@patriciajones5907]

Sandy, your artistic abilities are amazing! I remember you from many moons ago when we were making the cards and sending them to our deployed Heroes! Back then it was just cards made with rubber stamps. I didn’t know how talented you were! Thank you for your many inspiring to tutorials!

Oh thank you!

What a cool effect. I will have to try it. It has a very calming effect.

Really pretty. I think I will try.

Please do!

[@kellysartthrob]

This turned out amazingly well. I've had mixed results with salt and popcorn salt - that very fine, tiny salt -- NEVER works well for me. I think it's so fine it dissolves, and it won't come off. Seeing how beautifully this turned out, I feel inspired to try a few salt experiments now ❤

[@SandyAllnock1]

I think it depends on what colors are using and how wet the paint is when you put salt on. And how much pigment is there. And whether you hold your tongue to the left or not 🤣 every time I want to do a salt painting I have to test all over again!

[@rubyfisch5077]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love everything about it.

[@trudievick2359]

Beautiful painting. Know it was about salt but the outcome was so peaceful. Thanks for sharing your tips on using salt,

[@Nancy-tr5fi]

Very nice, salt alludes me, sometimes I get something happening but often nothing.

[@karenzemko6518]

Oh no! Your painting was a-salt-ed! LOL Love this effect - have never tried it. Gives such a soft snowy look - without a white pen! TFS

[@SandyAllnock1]

🤣

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

In my experience salt words best on transparent staining colors. I've had bad luck using it on heavier granulating pigments where I get a hard dot instead of the effect you got. Maybe it's user error, I don't know. I'm still learning too

[@SandyAllnock1]

I haven’t tried different colors enough to determine which work best--usually I end up re-learning how wet the paper should be 🤣

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

@@SandyAllnock1 Meeee toooo

[@LadyJP6969]

@ChristinaTodd1970 @SandyAllnock1 I just watched @Dr.OtoKano do an experiment on salt with various wetness & pigments, it’s Too Cool!!!😎

[@denimblue52]

LOVE THE EFFECT.

[@candymiller7438]

Gosh! This turned out fantastic!

[@silkeschumann7261]

2:08 In order to avoid warping you wet the 250 and 300 gsm from both sides and stretch onto a board and fixate it. You probably get away with only wetting one side with a 400 gsm of a taped down sheet.

[@catherinevernet5103]

It’s just magic !!! And gorgeous !

[@erinoakes4363]

Loved watching the salt move the paint! Interesting technique

[@suel4269]

Wonderful tutorial!

[@Bunny_the_Rabbit]

Very pretty. I have burnt the salt in before. Sometimes we think we are helping with the heat tool only to find out the salt is not going to come off the paper at all.

[@SandyAllnock1]

So I’m not the only one lol

NICE pallet! I know it was pricey, but it’s beautiful. Oh snd nice salt video

[@catherinedidomenico814]

This is really beautiful. I've only used salt once or twice, in an art journaling/watercolor class I took on zoom, and - lol - it was a dramatic FAIL (not enough direction for a newbie like me - just kinda slap some pigment on paper and you're good!)!! But this peaks my curiosity and makes me want to try it again. Thanks for posting!

[@SandyAllnock1]

Every time I remember to try it, I go through the same thoughts-how much pigment? How wet? How long do I leave it? So now I have this video I can go back to next time too. 😂

[@angela14962002]

So beautiful!

[@EndlessSims3]

Try sand too wonder how it dose on wet acrylic paint?

[@shirleyclanton2730]

New to this, what is your watercolor paper on? How do you flatten the paper if it warps? This is so beautiful, I want to try it, thank you.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I attach large paper to Incredible Art Board bit.ly/3ZmewV4 - taping it down keeps most of the warping to a minimum.
