Wonderful water colour Marsha did you use salt ? what a great complimentary use of colour! Joy oh Joy to leave the paper as white so very effective and in keeping with translucent WC L

Marsha Elliott replied:

Again, thank you so much for your nice comments on this painting and so many others . Yes, I used salt in the background to give it a frosty look. When using salt, the timing has to be just right.

Chickadees do have the ability to bring a sense of sunshine into the dreariest winter day! This is a wonderful painting, Marsha... love the way you have 'frosted' the background. f/v

Marsha Elliott replied:

How nice of you to stop by, Peggy, with this great comment. When using salt for texture, it has a mind of its own
