Today, I'm going to teach you how to paint in a way that I call "salt-watercolor." Why salt water, you may ask? Well, it's on the seder plate to help us remember that a long time ago, when the Jews were slaves in Egypt, they were very sad, and they cried tears- which are salty! You simply sprinkle salt on watercolor paint, and it makes it look extra beautiful.
