Project Description:

"The Colors of Snow" is an experiment with watercolors, the techniques of wet on wet, wet on dry, or dry on dry, and salt. The goal of the project is to allow the artist to discover colors where there were none, get creative with the use of these colors and use salt to miraculously and dramatically change the art. Through these techniques and experiences, the artist's passion is awakened.
