Title or Location: Splash of colour, coral reef. Taken at home in plymouth.
I did this watercolour as an experiment to see what can be created with useing salt to create texture. My friend was doing a lesson for her art class and needed to see how the watercolours would react with different things. We did an Arty day together and just had fun with it. I had no idea of what I would create and it ended up looking like a coral reef. I enjoy all aspects of creativity and love experimenting with new mediums.
