Just like natural hair paintbrushes are better at holding color and
water, so natural sponges are better than synthetic when it comes to
artistic use. Natural sponges not only hold color and water
between their fibers, but absorb it directly into the fiber itself,
allowing for greater color load and longer application time. The Natural
Sponges are carefully harvested under strict control to keep them free
of any contaminants, and are available in three sizes for any myriad of
artistic uses! Among some of the many uses for natural fiber paint sponges are: - Ceramics
- For thousands of years, natural hair sponges have been used in
ceramics and pottery as a smoothing aide. Potters need slurry to keep
their pieces smooth and moist, and nothing brings water to the potter
more efficiently than a natural fiber sponge!
- Faux Finishing -
Sponging on and sponging off are both highly popular forms of faux
finish techniques, among many others involving sponges. The irregular
texture of natural fiber sponges makes for the most organic, interesting
patterns and they not only hold more color but allow for a more
controlled release.
- Watercolor Painting - Watercolorists have
long been in love with the natural sponge! Sponges can be used for
wetting paper, or for absorbing excess saturation. As sponges have no
hair, they leave none behind on the paper like brushes can do. Perfect
for lifting paint and for softening and blending colors, natural sponges
are indispensable in the watercolor studio!
- Acrylic Painting -
Use natural sponges to achieve organically textured effects in
acrylics, to wipe, smooth, and blend colors, even use in place of a
brush for direct application! The possibilities of expression are
limitless when you combine sponges with acrylic paints.
- Oil
Painting - Natural sponges are fantastic for applying thin glazes of
color, and new quick-dry mediums mean multiple layers can be applied
over a short period of time to build up depth and refraction, while the
sponges will not leave trace hairs behind in the layers! Sponges can
also be loaded with liquid oil colors and used in dripping and
spattering techniques, or with solvents for wiping and smudging.
