Glue and Salt Watercolour Paintings

This is amazingly fun for kids and adults alike. 

There is a sort of addictive quality to watching the paint travel along your salt covered glue line as it absorbs the colour straight from your brush.  The colours are so vibrant with the white substrate and against a black background.  



Easy easy easy project.  

All you need is black paper, white glue, salt and watercolour paints. 



Squeeze your squeeze bottle of glue to form lines and designs on your paper.



  

Now pour generous amounts of salt all over and then move and shake your paper around so it covers all of the glue. 

Dump off the excess glue (you can save it to use on your next one). 





Fill your water colour brush with plenty of paint and simply touch it to the glue salt lines and watch as the paint is taken from you and soaked up by the salted glue lines. 









Try it!  I am certain it will brighten up your day.
