    I feel your pain with TicTok videos! Most are extremely irritating. The UA-cam Shorts are constantly being dangled in front of other regular videos that I unfortunately click on without thinking, (ADD), but then get frustrated at myself for watching 2 in a row...sometimes 3 or 4. 😵‍💫

    Salt on watercolour will work better on darker colours - it’s a fab trick for creating texture and the effect becomes apparent after the paint has dried and you have brushed the salt away. It’s great for moss on rocks, or rust on metal, or old paint on doors etc

    I made Christmas cards for the first time in 3 years because of Covid restrictions. I used salt on one of the cards. As long as you sprinkle the salt on wet paint, and wait until the paint is completely dry before you rub the salt off, you can get some neat effects. You can use different types of salt, or even rice will work.

    • @AnthonyCrammen

    Yessss! Water colour pencils were great, especially for details. My grade 7 teacher was an artist and he swore by them, therefore, he introduced them to us. He advised my parents to get me a set for my birthday, and so I got a really nice set in a tin package.
    I also press hard with crayons and scrape them off. It does look good!

    Ant, your not alone, I dislike TikTok intensely, because it's basically poor quality viewing for adults,and it's not governed so a lot of kids get exposed to bad stuff that is not acceptable to my mind for any child.
    I think that person with the picture frames was being serious. I don't know, I could be wrong, but I really think she was thinking she made fantastic art.
    Also, I love that lunch box hack. I've tried it at home and it works really well and it comes in very handy.
    With the salt it watercolour, you need to leave it in the paint until it's dried, and you get a snowflake sort of effect.
    And don't worry Ant, I can't draw either! It's so blinkin' frustrating! Lol. Still, we can't all be good at everything. You for examole, are good at making UA-cam videos, and making people laugh, so there you go. Your more talented than you thought. Thanks for an entertaining video.
    God bless you and yours. Stay warm, and Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

I hate it so much; so, yeah, hate shorts too! I was getting wound up right along with you, LOL! That first hack, I couldn't tell from her voice either, so I really hope she meant it sarcastically, because if so, she was amazing! If not, omg... But the thought of taking an $85 coffee table book and ripping a page out of it to put into a Dollar Tree frame then sticking it on the wall of the bathroom... and being proud of the idea?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've heard of the salt in watercolor thing, but never really understood the point. Even when it works like it did in the TikTok, I don't see the point. But I'm sure some folks love it. I do want to try the crayon one, tho. I remember being chastised as a kid for rubbing too hard -- I'm so sorry -- and ruining the crayon, so I guess I never thought to try again as an adult, but it's tempting to try just for that shiny outcome. That's a completely new one on me. You entire video was wonderful, and thank you for breaking up my really boring editing afternoon!!!

    She was serious....poor thing. 😆
    I was a watercolorist for over 25 years and though I'm a silk artist now, I use salt to create various textures on silk just as I did on watercolor paper. The salt in watercolor does work but you did it wrong. For best results use actual watercolor paper. Wet the paper and then add your watercolor using wet-in-wet. Wait for the watercolor paper that's wet to turn a matte finish (the paper goes from glossy due to being wet to matte due to drying just a bit). Pour the salt where you want effects and let it completely dry. Once dry brush the salt away and voilà. The salt effects won't look like snowflakes or crystals (the girl misrepresented the effect), but they have a neat texturing look. You could do it with less water and use dark colors to see the effect better. Different types of salt and different sizes will create different effects. You can use different mediums and different liquids as well, like alcohol, lemon juice, vodka, etc.
