Steps:
  1. Make a spider web drawing on your paper with a white or light-colored oil
    pastel.
  2. Paint over and around the spider web with your watercolor paints.
  3. Sprinkle salt on the watercolor paint while it's still wet. This is an optional step but it creates a lovely mottled effect as the salt absorbs the liquid around it.
  4. Let dry, rub off the salt, and display.
Material:
  • Watercolor paper
  • White or light-colored oil pastels or crayons
  • Watercolor paint in dark colors such as black, blue, and purple (we used liquid watercolors)
  • Salt (optional)
