Note to those who paint in arid climates: do *not* wait until the sheen is off, or the effects of the salt will be negligible. My paint begins to dry almost immediately after saturating the paper, so l must sprinkle salt asap. Try experimenting with degrees of wetness. Painters in, say, humid Britain can paint unconcernedly for up to five minutes before adding salt, and following their timeline is incredibly frustrating, until at one point l nearly gave up.
Climate has an impact on the painting process. I do agree that everyone must adapt to their unique environment to determine when is the best time to do what you want to do. Thank you for sharing that information with the community
@OurWatercolourJourney Thank *you* for your excellent tutorial. I realised you were likely painting from Britain when l resumed the video - l hope you didn't feel singled out by my example, though many watercolourists do hale from the UK - however l do feel a tad envious. :)
@Bearwithme560 Thank you very muchDo not worry, I do understand wher you come from. I am glad that you mentioned that point, Each country and area is so differnet and every artist needs to adapt to different climate conditions. People do get frustrated when they do not get the same results as the original artist. I am from South Africa , but stayed for a eight years in South Korea. Climates are totally different, and one has to adapt to the different environments😊
Fabulous!
Thank you very much
Lovely
I appreciate it
Merci pour le partage. Beau et original 😊
C'est un plaisir. Content que ça te plaise
Gorgeous
Thank you very much
Beautiful. I at last managed to get salt to work that looked like snow flakes.
Thank you very much. I am so excited when somebody gets something done which they struggled with. Awesome. Well done🙂
beautiful artwork
Thank you very much

@OurWatercolourJourney lsn't that the truth? Especially now, ironically, watching the effects of climate and/or climate change in Los Angeles. 😟
Yep. It is a real tragedy
