When starting out, have all materials set out and pigments already laid into your palette. Have your paper edges taped and water and paper towels at the ready. Approach this technique the same way you did for the wet-into-wet sunsets, dampening the paper first and then introducing a mixure of colors that will bleed into each other. You will want to work with larger flat brushes to lay in some nice washes of color. The amount of salt needed is not great - a table spoon placed into a dry compartment of your palette should do the trick. While the washes are still wet, sprinkle a pinch of salt here there, fill some areas more completely than others. Be careful with giving these enough time to dry. Even after the main paper area has dried, the points under each grain of slat will remian wet for some time. Brushing the salt off too early will smear the painting. After a drying overnight, the salt can be scraped off using a flat edge of a credit card or student ID.

If you missed class, watch this 1 hour demo of this process. For your own first tries, tape up our sheet and then divide the sheet into two by an additional piece of tape (like how we did our first attempts at flat washes.) Try different pigments and/or different amounts of wetness to compare the results.
