i honestly love hearing ppl share techniques instead of "hacks", i swear when i learn a new shape (sounds weird i know) it so insanely helpful

[juscallmeDABS]

can we see what these look like once dry ?? sometimes watercolor looks different after it dries especially when the technique has the color slowly moving /bleeding on the page it doesnt look the same when the paint first hits the page (wet) to when its dry ..

In batik we would sprinkle salt to make the dyes react similarly

Love to use the salt with watercolor to creat a beautiful snow effect. Try it you'll love the look once it is completed dry. Let it dry slowly on it's own the salt cause a crystal look. Once dry then brush off the salt. Happy painting 🖌️

This was the best, quickest, and most useful way of describing these! Thank you!

Very new to watercolor! Going to use that salt trick for sure💕✌️

I'm so glad I started following you. I just began my watercoloring journey, but I have already learned many new things and dared to experiment bc of you! You make it very accessible and I'm excited to see where this journey will lead me (:

Just found you and I have to try this! I'm not fond of using WC, so I think I'll try pencil and acrylic.

I love the bloom technique! I just do bloom and make my page all rainbow then draw something on it! It's so pretty istg

My son and I did a painting where we used salt and it created an effect of Starbursts and tie dye. It was pretty neat and it gave the painting a bit of texture!

Beautiful whale, love it's expression 😊

I love the techniques and LOVE your aqua color that you use most in this clip-what color & brand is that? It’s gorgeous! 🤩

I would also add plastic wrap crinkled up. Add to your wet paint, let dry and remove after your paper is completely dry.

What watercolors and paper do you use? They look really smooth!

You can also use a mister clean magic sponge to do lifting for watercolor.
