Painting techniques day 16

Plastic Wrap and salt

I have used this technique only with paper in the past so this was a real experiment.


I covered it with plastic wrap.





Salt
This technique is nothing new but must be included none the less. This is a piece of heavily misted cloth with brown and black paint. I sprinkled salt on it and let it dry.


 The salt particles attracted the paint leaving small dots.


This is something I usually do for a first layer when making some art cloth.
