Sea-life

This was my first attempt at sea-life using salt.  I'm still battling the desire to create a 'watercolor' look with the desire to create detail in my work.  Their are two elements I feel okay about, the background water look and the coral.  This was my second attempt at this picture in which I didn't feel solid about any of it.  Such is progress.  A friend told me that the first 200 watercolors are crap, and then you start getting better.  Ahem, than I must be getting slightly better. 

Back to the 'watercoloring board'. 

Cheers,
Laura
