Sea Salt Black Bird.

With a very wet brush, blue and black pigment

was applied on the board. Coarse sea salt was sprinkled

on the wet surface, creating a lighting effect as it dried.

It was a "big black shape" before it transformed

into the bird. Black, white and brown conte crayons

added accents. Finished with a pencil for fine lines,

then scanned and a little more work on Photoshop.

A starting point for more experimentation.

Thanks for looking.
