Ingredients
- Cardstock
- Pencil
- 1 Cookie sheet
- School glue
- Kosher salt
- Watercolor paints
- Paint brushes
- 1 Cup with water
Instructions
- Set up the cardstock on the cookie sheet to help contain loose salt.
- Sketch your design on the cardstock using a pencil.
- Trace the lines of your design with school glue, ensuring the lines are generous and visible.
- Cover the wet glue with kosher salt while it is still wet.
- Remove excess salt by gently tilting or shaking the cardstock.
- Prepare your watercolor paints by mixing them with a small amount of water in the cup.
- Load the brush with watercolor, ensuring it is saturated but not dripping.
- Lightly touch the brush to a salt-covered glue line to let the color spread.
- Add more colors if desired, using the light-touch method.
- Leave the painting flat to dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight.
Notes
The glue and salt create a textured surface, so handle the finished artwork carefully and keep it dry to prevent damage.
