This painting was finished a week ago. I used salt and spray bottle for the effects in the background and foreground. I am starting to enjoy painting old (classic) vehicles!

ECXELENT!
You got some great textural effects going on here! I really like what you're doing, and look forward to more. Just one question: when you used the salt, did you wait until it was beginning to dry a bit? I used salt on something recently and I think the paper was too wet, as the salt simply dissolved without doing anything.
Thank you Margo, Joyce, Daniel, and Kisu.
Kisu - when I use salt I usually wet the area of the paper, then I use a lot of pigment and after I do that I sprinkle salt. There is usually not a lot of water, only damp. Of course some spots have more water than other so I try to sprinkle more salt there so the salt wont dissolve. Then I dry it with blowdryer, it helps to make sure the salt wont dissolve. Hope it helps.
