Here is a little tutorial/guide on how to do some cool effects in watercolour, mainly useful for backgrounds but can be used for other things.

Anyway it was something to do and i've not done a tutorial before so excuse the poor layout and the spellings ^^; lol

Edit: Meant to say some of these effects will be effected by what paints you use and the paper. I used Winsor & Newton Cotman pan watercolour paints for this and 300 gsm hotpress paper. Different brands of paints will have a different amount of pigment which will most likely effect the Salt Trick, Water Drops and Plastic. Different paper will effect the drying time of the paint, especially if it isnt watercolour paper.

I've been wondering why I kept hearing about salt in reference to water color ^^;

As a complete beginner at watercolor, myself, I can't say I knew any even basic techniques so this was pretty useful. The descriptions are clear and easy to understand, so you can rest assured that you at least helped one person ^_^ Nice job!

You could use crayons for the second one which is also known as wax resist. draw stuff with the crayon, then paint over it. The paint will slide tight off.
