Thanks for the info mate...I'll definitely try it some time. It looks like a great 'random' technique. I say 'random' to denote techniques where one gives up a certain amount of control...dry brushing with a piece of sponge also qualifies. I usually don't like the random things, but I'm a virgo, control-freak perfectionist. |
Watercolorists use the salt method quite effectively (usually in Winter snow scenes), so I can see the use with Acrylics. Don't know how it would react to enamels, though.
