You apply the salt while the paper is still damp with the paint but not quite dry. Use a blow dryer to speed up the drying, and then brush the salt off (I use a dull edged knife).<br /><br />9" x 12" Arches hot press, Winsor & Newton water colors, Schminke Aero Colors, Berol 2B pencil, Staedtler pigment liners, salt, (razor/exacto knife blades and laytex erasers to demonstrate how to fix mistakes).</p>Llyn Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959499327606817604noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628616752055502406.post-65251255274623469972009-02-08T09:21:00.001-08:002009-02-08T09:21:31.924-08:00Valentine<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/llyn_hunter/3262815937/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3262815937_f586855c8b.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/llyn_hunter/3262815937/">Valentine</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/llyn_hunter/">Llyn Hunter, Bobcat Publishing</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> <a href="http://www.llynsplace.com/ECV5.swf">www.llynsplace.com/ECV3.swf</a> <br /><br />Click on the link to connect to the animated<br />e-card.

I'm offering this one up to the creative commons folks. Please virus it out!!! send it for free to whatever site you think could use it. I am truly hoping that in six weeks I will no longer have a use for this image, but it would be nice if you can find a good use for it in the mean time.</p>Llyn Hunterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04959499327606817604noreply@blogger.com0
