I found that different brands of paint in the same color will have the salt reacting completely differently. You are really inspiring here and I have a billion projects fighting to get on my 'To Do' list after this video!!!
I look forward to your texture effects. I've seen most of these techniques before (though not stamping), but you seek and appreciate more subtle effects than other artists have, so that makes your tutorial unique.
Hi Lou. I am new to watercolor and I really loved this exercise. So many great ideas. I also like just the idea of trying different techniques on the same page, in the same color so the results can be compared. Thank you!
Fun to try different textures…I especially like the results from the coarse salt,stamping & the plastic wrap or Saran Wrap as it is called here🇨🇦..it is actually a brand name
What a great article. I decided this week to have a go at collage and mixed media so this appeared just at the right time! Off to make some textured sheets now, Sepia is one of my favourite pigments, along with Indigo. Thanks for this - nice to hear the word 'canny' as a North Shields lass!
That’s great - so glad it came at the right time :) I did wonder when editing that but whether anyone would know what I meant! My family are from just south of the river :)
I love this Lou! I have only seen a couple of these techniques before so very interesting to see the others. The finished picture is a piece of art work in itself 👍☺️
Hi Lou 👋. For the salt experiment, I think if you use a lot of water you will get better results. It's just a hunch, though. You can get really nice effects with granulating paints.
Great video 🙌 I've tried the salt and found that it stuck to the paper a bit, I'd like to try grains of rice next time. Looking forward to your next video 😁
Someone I saw mentioned silica gel has a similar effect - but I wouldn’t want any of it getting lost - my dog tends to eat anything that falls on the floor.
Awesome techniques! The spiral would look great with different colors 🌈😍. I follow another artist on Instagram who uses cookie cutters to create designs. Thank you for sharing your art with us. 😊
