Sponge painting



Sponge painting techniques allows endless variety for you to create amazing surfaces.  The sample shown above was done using a "Positive" technique where the paint is added directly to the surface by a sea sponge. No glaze was used for this sample. The sea sponge needs to have many spiked areas to produce this dotted look. I chose analogous colors so there was harmony and color blending would produce beautiful overlays. Each layer of color was allowed to dry before applying the next color.
I call this technique Fantasy Granite. Explore all the amazing things you can do with paint!
