Salt Cell by Amy Crook

Salt Cell by Amy Crook

I’ve been doing more experiments with my paints lately, and today’s piece is a very simple one done using a single color of paint and a small handful of coarse Kosher salt. The paint, originally in a fairly even wash, pooled and patterned in a way that makes me think of cellular structure under a microscope. And to think, I once had a biology lab instructor tell me I ought to go into scientific illustration.

Salt Cell, 5″x5″ watercolor on watercolor paper, sold.

    Thank you! It’s simple, but I like it.
