Paint your white cardstock/watercolor paper with the colors you selected and let dry.

Spread clear glue over your paper and get creative with the design. You can create unique shapes or different types of lines!

Sprinkle salt on the areas where you have glue and set it aside to dry. Now outline or trace sea animals onto

your black construction paper with a pencil.

areas with the glue and salt!

Now glue the sea animals onto your ocean painting.

Your final ocean salt painting will look something like this!
