I thought I'd try the salt technique with watercolors again. I started with three small pieces of watercolor paper. I used table salt, kosher salt and a pink himalayan salt mill. My experiment with the table salt and kosher salt went in the recycle bin.
I used Peerless watercolors. This color is called Forget Me Not. Now I wish I would have colored a bigger sheet.

Fabulous CAS card, Bunny. My attempt with table salt went in the bin too! I must get some of the pink Himalayan salt and try again after seeing your card. xx
