Painting
- In a separate container, mix your watercolors with water to achieve a flowy texture.
- Starting with one color, apply the watercolor to the salt-covered paper, allowing colors to run and mingle.
- Consider adding textures by spraying water gently from a spray bottle to encourage blending.
