This is an easy and fun way to add a little variety to everyday painting with watercolors.  Your kids can create a cool, textured painting using plain ol’ table salt.

  • Shaker of table salt

Watercolor Painting with Salt Texture

How to Do Watercolor Painting with Salt:

Cover your work area or set the paper on top of rimmed cookie sheets to catch stray salt.

To start, paint a picture or design on paper with watercolors.  While the painting is still wet, shake salt onto the design.  Let dry.

The salt will create a cool bumpy texture to the painting.
