Week of experimenting with materials and techniques III: air and salt

There are a lot of different techniques to paint with watercolors, we chose to practice with air and salt. To develop  the first activity, blow the colors, we just needed watercolors, paper and straws. And instead of paint with brushes, we used the straws and our lungs:




To develop the next activity, salt painting, we needed glue, salt, paper, brushes and watercolors. First of all we wrote some words with glue in our papers (we decided to write but it is also possible to draw with the glue) and then we sprinkle salt:





When the salt was glued, we started to paint with the watercolors. The color flows through the salt, so we only needed to let the color drips on the salt, not to paint directly. The results were so different and colorful!


















Practice new techniques! Discover new materials! Experiment with art!
