Watercolor Wednesday challenge WCW008 is to use the salted background technique. I have not had great results in the past with the technique so was a bit wary. I tried using *more* water, *more* ink and *more* salt than I was inclined to in prior efforts, and a much happier with the results. I made four panels, used two sizes of salt, and am limiting myself to share my top two favorites. Thanks for looking!
