Do you add the salt while the paint is wet, or salt first, wash with water THEN paint?

I add it on the wet paint.

I'm sooo happy that you think so! I was actually planning to prepare something for Patreon this summer. So if everything goes well, I'll be there at the end of summer/beginning of autumn.

You can actually create you account now (and not go live) now if you want. You can get used to the navigating and things (like tiers, goals, etc). Make your tier rewards where they don't drive you nuts though. I just opted for the patrons to give what they can and they get everything. Then I can just focus on creating projects etc while trying not to figure out who is what tier etc. I'm at patreon.com/crystalhubbard. You can kind of get an idea.

Quick question...how do you manage to remove the masking fluid and salt?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When the paint and paper are completely dry I just sweep salt with hand. Removing masking fluid resembles removing chewing gum, though it's even easier. The most important thing is that the work has to be completely dry and the paper shouldn't be too thin (an average watercolor paper is absolutely ok).

I don't understand the masking fluid and salt part, tho. What exactly is masking fluid? *shot
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks
Masking fluid is a special liquid which can be used for covering a part of a drawing so it will not be painted over with watercolors. It is placed with a brush just like a paint but when it dries up, it changes into something similar to chewing gum. Then the masking fluid can be removed. The part of the drawing which was covered by it remains white.
Salt absorbs water. You can place it on a wet painting and the grains of salt will absorb water around them which will create irregular textures.

hummm is masking fluid sold worldwide? (because I've never heard of it omg I'm so... under the rock)

I believe so, though it may not be available in all art shops. I buy it simply via Internet because in my town there are no such shops

Oh no no, don't feel that way, please! I just wanted to show, that it may be helpful, when drawing isn't treated very seriously (from time to time)

Oh its ok. I was just saying that it just seemed so easy. I didn't mean it that way at all
