wash # 28
quin gold + perylene maroon + indanthrene blue
12 x 36 cm canson fontenay 300g / m2
made alot of washes adding salt yesterday with mixed results.... adding the salt at different times ... using the same palette as the sun flowers wash # 27 below
"wet on dry" adding fine salt (table salt) + rock salt when the paper was damp .. i use to always keep the painting horizontal after adding salt but tilting a little becomes interesting ...splattering a small amount of water and pigment ...when dry brush off salt
wash # 29

They both look like beautiful fireworks, but I think #28 is my favourite.
i definately prefer #28 ! thanks vandy
Gorgeous colour Jane .. I see daisies in the first one :O)
Your use of salt breaks the usual trend of just getting texture - you're using the salt patterns to create something else...wonderful work and a new spin on an old technique!
thankyou suzanne added the yellow centres as the salt patterns reminded me of flowers .
... thankyou rhonda really enjoy seeing what the patterns can create.
Beautiful way and colors. You put just enough maroon to make it magic !
Just love your loose technique for flowers; it makes me feel free and happy!
Amazing! I love the way you've used salt to make flowers - you're so creative!
Both really, really nice....I'll have to try salt again......
