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

[@rebeccawong1]

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

[@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.

[@jubileej1629]

Wow just wow 😍😍

[@suel4269]

Beautiful! I’ve gone mad trying to get salt to work. 🤣

[@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!

I Thank you for putting the info into each video in a manner all can understand.

[@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!

[@annygarbot7927]

J adore 😍i love it 👍🏽friendly of France 🇫🇷🙋🏼‍♀️Anny

[@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

Beautiful painting 🎨🌹🌼🌷😄. Look fantasy~👍🌻🎨🌷🌼

[@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!!!😎

[@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.

[@corteltube]

Great video…

[@SandyAllnock1]

Thanks!

[@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

[@cindysolly306]

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

[@EndlessSims3]

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

[@fiddler1252]

Lovely, use of salt, but I missed what kind of salt you used. Fabulously delicate trees; so very soothing to watch you paint.

[@SandyAllnock1]

Just table salt.

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

6:00 That is a funny looking brush. What is it called?

[@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. 😂

[@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.

[@shirleyclanton5643]
