However, rock salt (or any salt that needs to be ground) give a varied and very interesting effect too, due to the differing sizes of the salt granules. However, if your paint is too dry or too wet when you apply the salt(a problem I often have), the results are disappointing. Timing is important.minnemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03672809552936996783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1793099226312263746.post-43745668319118688622012-05-25T20:27:19.750-04:002012-05-25T20:27:19.750-04:00This is so beautiful and I love the quote.

I have been reading a book on how to watercolour (still learning) and they were talking about using rock salt to get the white 'splot' effect like yours.
