We love to watercolor.....so to add a demension to it, we experiemented with textures using salt and rubbing alcohol.

We painted a few blocks of colors on a page -- any design will work.

Jayda used alcohol &  added Kosher Salt. The salt soaks up the color, leaving a star-shaped effect -- varying by which salt use use -- table or kosher. She used alcohol with a Q-tip, first -- you can see after it dried, the color was lifted a bit to reveal a lighter color. We flicked alcohol, carefully, as well as dotted with the Q-tip end. 

Here are my daughters creating their works for art.

Taylor added only salt.

We found that the darker paints work much better for creating the alcohol effect.

Here is a great site that helps with watercoloring.
