/ loisdavidsonart * Please note that at about 6 mins into the video, I brush all the salt from the painting once it is bone dry before I continue to paint, I forgot to say!* Materials listed below. I'm currently exploring special effects in loose watercolour painting with my Patreon group, in this video I try out adding salt for this wet in wet winter landscape using just 2 colours. My board is tilted at around 45 to 60 degrees so the water and paint flows nicely. Many thanks for watching, please like and subscribe! Thanks so much to all my Patrons on Patreon for supporting this channel :-) / loisdavidsonart
Materials:
Milford paper 140lb cold pressed 11" x 15"/28cm x 38cm
Natural rock salt (medium ground crystals)
Cotman watercolour tubes in Paynes grey and Yellow ochre
Large and medium Pro Arte Ron Ranson hake brushes, no.2 rigger, small squirrel mop brush

I've been painting for 60 years, all mediums, but not so much wet in wet. You have already inspired me to give it a try. I have thousands of completed paintings, and a good variety of styles, but you have a way of presenting your work, so beautifully understated, and encouraging everyone to think, "I can do that" .I cannot praise you enough!! Keep it going, it's great!.

Thanks so much for the tip with the tracing paper - so useful! And I also tried the salt and similar colour scheme ... just two (even though my Paynes Grey is slightly different ... more brownish) ... it turned out very moody. I am learning so much from you! And it is fun to watch you create your paintings. What's more ... I even got my husband to try to paint a sky today 😉 ... and my son too ... we had a lot of fun. ❤

FA. BU. LOUS! I'm definitely going to try this. May I just ask how paint doesn't seep beneath your masking tape? I've never been able to get a clean line, AND my tape tears my paper when I remove it. Thanks for the inspiration Lois, much needed at this time. God bless.

@nancydipko3270 3 жыл бұрын

I have yet another inspiration!! I really enjoyed your process! I do want to ask if you used “frisket” or a facsimile? It appears the paint does not absorb into the paper in certain areas at approximately the lower 1/3 area? I’m a novice and am trying to learn about watercolor! Thank you, Lois!

@LoisDavidsonArt 3 жыл бұрын

No frisket, I added salt to the foreground which pushes the paint away
