In reply to Ben. I'm so glad that you enjoyed this pumpkin art project, Ben. I'm always amazed by how much liquid watercolor paint the salt and glue lines can absorb when creating a salt painting. Salt paintings are always fun to make!

This is great! It’s crazy how the paint flows into the salt glue.

You’re welcom Sharon! I’m sure your grandson will love this project, my daughter sure did! I just published another post today with a similar process that will help it make more sense. You can find it here: https://rhythmsofplay.com/harvest-pumpkin-watercolor-art-project/

In reply to Sharon. I'm sorry I did not make it clear Sharon. The glue and salt have to touch, just make sure the orange lines of the pumpkin do not touch the lines that will be green or yellow if you do not want the colors to run. You will paint the salt AND the glue. You will need to pour salt on the glue, shake off the excess, and then paint the salt that is now stuck to the glue. I hope that makes sense.

I do not understand what you mean about not letting the glue and salt touch. Is there one line or two? Also does the paint go on the glue or just the salt?
