Graet job on this painting Marty i like the over all neat neatness of it..seems youve got the hang of using the sponge for the foilage ..looks good man keep it up...
I thought at first that I needed to use the edge or corner of a sponge, but have since discovered I get my best results by kind of balling the sponge, so as to not have any edges of it touch the painting. I am spraying the base color, in this case green directly onto the sponge, followed by the highlight color, in this case yellow, over a portion of the base color, and dabbing the paint onto the painting VERY LIGHTLY. IF I press too firmly, I lose all the texture provided by the surface of the sponge. As for what type of sponge I am using, I am buying the LEAST textured sponge I can find. Currently I am using sponges purchased at Home Depot, in their paint department. They are designed to wash grout off tile. A bit hard to put what I am doing into words so as to make it all clear, but with a little experimenting, I think you will like the results. Good luck. Marty
Thanks Shelli
