oh this is truly wonderful. your use of watercolour is superb. love it. can you give us some hints aobut your technique.
salhunter replied
Thank you Marion.
I usually start with a wet in wet layer, let that dry and then build up further layers, sometimes up to 30 or more. Details are added with dry brush. The whole process takes a very long time … This one took about 100 hours.

Lovely work – it looks completely frozen in time!
salhunter replied
Thank you! That’s what I was going for. I had a bit of a thing about ice a while back.

looks like the waves and the water froze in mid air, like a drastict temp change and it froze , i love it…..........you do this with a lot of salt? Salt will do that texture also….just wondering?
salhunter replied
No salt here, just layers of watercolour, there is an explanation of how I did it in the watercolour group forum “http://www.redbubble.com/watercolour-paintings/forums/2155/topics/20458-wet-in-wet”
RealPainter
thanks ill be looking at that, i love the texture and the way it looks like , you know the way salt does…...........ever paint with bleach?
