Halloween Art Project: Wax Resist Spider Web Painting

This video tutorial guides viewers through creating a spider web painting, perfect for Halloween. It starts with drawing the web using a sharpie on paper, then moves to practicing with a crayon or oil pastel on the painting surface. The tutorial explains the wet-on-wet watercolor technique, using black and orange colors, and adding salt for texture. After drying, the salt is removed, revealing a textured pattern.
