This is a great site that will explain the process of how to sponge paint. Choose one color for the base and sponge the other two colors on top. I would do test pieces on extra pieces of wood to figure out what combination you like best.
Also try different sponging techniques, different types of sponges. I have also done rags and a feather duster to paint the top coat.

I've read the answers about sponge painting. is it correct to assume that i don't need a glaze to sponge paint
Glaze allows you more time to work your shading or design without the paint drying out.You do not have to use it.I've read the answers about sponge painting. is it correct to assume that i don't need a glaze to sponge paint
that is correct you don't need a glaze to do sponge painting you can do it with two different color paints and you should be fineI've read the answers about sponge painting. is it correct to assume that i don't need a glaze to sponge paint

Sponge painting is using a sponge to paint. (Sounds simple right?)
You can use the sponge like you would a paintbrush (there a re some that look like one, with a handle and all)
There is also the typical method of sponge painting. This is a finishing technique, where you lightly dab a paint-loaded sponge on a prepared surface (wall painted another color).Mini Scooter

Can an Impressionist painting be done using a sponge instead of a brush?
I really need an expert opinion because one of the characteristic of an impressionistic painting is visible brush stocks. I have used a sponge to do my painting. Will it still be considered impressionistic?Can an Impressionist painting be done using a sponge instead of a brush?
I don't see why not. Impressionist paintings are loose and have lots of movement. The paintings are the impression the artist gets from the subject matter, they are alive with feeling, light and color; they are a snap shot or moment in time. if your painting exhibits these traits then it is an impressionistic painting. You could also cut your sponge down to be able to have a bit more control if you like. Have a look at some impressionist artist such as Monet and Renoir.Can an Impressionist painting be done using a sponge instead of a brush?
A truer statement of impressionist painting might be that it involves building color images using a palette that has little or no black or dark browns - shadows being created by contrasts - and images are built up largely of dabs of color near each other, not mixed on the canvas.. The lack of dark makes the pictures glow with light and since most of their work is outdoors, that is what they are playing with.
On the other hand, most of the junk amateur painting (';I don't see why they didn't give a prize to that one, it looks very nice';) is impressionist in that it gives the impression of the scene and the artist shows no hint of drawing ability or of accurate rendering if it were needed (';Lets do a lovely stroke of dark green here for a tree trunk and another behind it.';)
I personally would think a sponge would be a poor tool for making the tight color by color spots that I consider hallmarks, but you might surprise me.
Why do you have to label it?
I'd go for it Cookie and show what you've done. You could still excercise a fair bit of control and it was all about an impression of light and colour and not being a camera. Look at Monet's large works of water lilies;to me they are the start of abstract expressionism.
to me, impressionism painting is a style of painting that involves putting ones own impression of his or her perception, it can be done with a brush, palette knife, sponge, or a finger!

I need help with sponge painting my room.....?
O.k i really want to sponge paint a soft pink over my soft yellow walls so it will be pretty. But we bought a sponge paint roller and it doesn't work at all, its horrible!!! we also tried using a lufa sponge [ the sponge you use in the shower] but that also didn't work....does anyone have any good ideas on how to sponge paint my room?? thx!! =]I need help with sponge painting my room.....?
go to home depot or lowes and they will have little chunks of sponge in the painting section. they work much better than a roller or loufa. they are just a chunk of sponge, about as big as your palm, and they are all holey and stuff. they don't look like a regular kitchen sponge. ask an employee at the store for more help if they won't work. those colors sound really cuteI need help with sponge painting my room.....?
Are you using latex paint? You need to. You also need to thin the paint to use a sponge of any kind. I have used sponge painting, always with a piece of sponge. You have to experiment to get the right paint to be thinned right and to get the right amount of paint on the sponge. Try doing one wall at a time. The corners are the hardest.
First off did you use a tinted glaze especially for sponge painting or regular paint. If you used regular paint, no wonder it looks a mess. A glaze will lift off leaving the sponging effect on the wall. We just did my daughter's TV room and it looks amazing. The best thing now would be to repaint the room and then pick out a nice tinted glaze and try again with the roller. You can use a sea sponge in the corners where the roller doesn't fit. Work on a scrap piece of wall board first to get an idea of how the glazing technique works, but it is basically to roll on in one direction and work toward the effect you are going for. Get a How-To booklet at a home improvement store that explains it better.
They sell sponges that are made for painting. The trick is to get a lot of the paint off before putting it on the wall. I have used a feather duster in the past to achieve similar results. You put the duster in the paint and then blot a lot off and just randomly press it on the wall over and over. It sounds crazy but it turned out great!

Waht is the role of a CCE worker during a sponge painting activity?
I'm guessing CCE stands for Child care educator..... or something similar.... you know these short cuts are plain as day t you... but not so cleear to others who are not so up on it all....
A child care workers role during a sponge painting activity is as follows.
prepare the materials required
introduce and demonstrate the activity to the children.
encourage and supervise the children in their efforts.
discuss the activity with the children as they are doing it.
by having materials prepared ahead of time the children do not become impatient waiting for the acitivity to start.
introducing and demonstrating the activity to the children allows them to hear and see what is expected of them, remember to allow for individual expression and to encourage them to do it their way.
encouraging and supervising the children individually as they carry out the activity allows you to estimate how well each individual child understood the instructions and also gives you the opportunity to talk to them about shape, colour and texture.
discussing the activity while the children are doing it gives you the opportunity to ask them questions and listen to what they have to say about the activity and their knowldege of the subject of the painting, and the colours they are using... you can talk to them about how the colours blend and become new colours as they run into one another on the paper..etc///
I hope this helps.

Has anyone ever heard of FLOWER painting? Like SPONGE, but with flowers?
I am wondering how I could go about doing this (if I even could), and what would be the best type of flower to use. Would I have to use fake flowers or what? Is this familiar to anyone?Has anyone ever heard of FLOWER painting? Like SPONGE, but with flowers?
Faux finishing is something I do a lot of and enjoy.
Flower petals, no matter the species; are fragile, and likely to rip/tear/shred; in the process of using them with paint. FRESH flowers would be weak/limp; even with acrylics or water colors. Dry flowers would cause even more residue in the paint.
To achieve a similar effect you might try feathers.
No offense but what possible purpose might be served by using FAKE? You may as well use a FAN brush or your fingers.
The GOOD news is that Faux finishing is an experience that allows one to use anything/everything as a TOOL. Certainly there will be exceptions that won't work, and will have to be passed over.
Not a faux artist but I knew a guy in Seattle that created paintings with his finger prints; and another who did great pieces with paint rollers on brown craft paper.
Then too is the issue of WHAT you want to paint (design)
Your options could be endless in finding things to use as TOOLS
Rag roll; feathers; Steel Wool; an old Crew sock; A stencil brush; do stipple effects, spattering; marbelizing. anything that has a texture, and leaves a texture....OR anything that will hold and release paint, so that the substance of the tool becomes obvious, yet subtle.
The enjoyment is in the process, and the hopeful result; but in all...even for the Masters; it's often trial and error/ research and development.
Don't use flowers. Just one persons 2 cents.
Steven WolfHas anyone ever heard of FLOWER painting? Like SPONGE, but with flowers?
Well I painted my Parlour Palm's leafs when I left it out in the sun too long. The leafs got sunburn and turned brown,so I painted them green again. As truthful as that is,I don't think that is what you meant. Now, I think real flowers would be expensive to use to paint with. They would not hold up either,so it would take a lot of flowers. If you wanted to paint with flowers I think I would use silk or plastic ones. But if your heart is set on using real ones,I think the best ones to use would be Marigolds. Those are pretty strong, and have lots of flowers when they bloom. My sister used leafs. It looks really good too. Byee
