Sponge Painting Technique

Sponging is one of the simplest painting techniques to learn. It requires a base coat of one color that is tinted above with another one. The second coat is applied with a sea sponge that is evenly dabbed at random over the entire wall. Depending on the colors that you utilize and the technique you handle your sponge, the effects that you can enjoy from this sponge painting technique are nearly vast.

There is actually no right or wrong way to sponge paint, but there are a couple of rules of thumb to make your walls most pleasant to the eye. A good sponge painting technique requires you to keep the touch of the sponge fairly light, so your upshot is a subtle one. You also want to sustain an even tone to the walls, with no lighter and darker spots in areas. It is a fine idea to practice on a board or other sample material before taking the sponge to the bulwark of your room.
