Watercolour Christmas card ideas - a tutorial demonstrating easy experimental salt techniques

Wendy demonstrates watercolour Christmas card ideas in a tutorial using easy experimental salt techniques. One of the Christmas card ideas that is demonstrated is the use of salt sprinkled into the paint to give the effect of snow. The subject matter is a snowy cottage and background trees with a simple foreground. Wendy talks about colour mixing and the use of a limited palette of just two colours.
