How do you get the sponge effect while painting?
Question:
Answers:
you start by putting a base coat on your walls, pick a color just a little lighter than the glaze you want to sponge on top. then dip your sponge in the glaze , just at one end of the sponge , remove excess glaze from sponge, so it doesn,t drip or run, then dab the wet end of the sponge on the walls , try to work in an area of about 3 or 4 feet wide. try not to make pattern, just dab randomly in the area. until you have the desired effect. once you apply a dab from the sponge, do not try to alter it.. we actually used plastic bags instead of a sponge and it worked very well

Invest in glaze. If you don't use glaze you're gonna get ugly carp results. Do not dip the sponge in the glaze ever, rather use a cheap chip brush to add the color to the sponge then remove the excess on a piece of scrap cardboard then attack your walls. By doing this you won't get ugly blobs.
The type of sponges you can use are sea sponges or cellulose sponges. Sea is more common. Turn your sponge randomly in the air as you sponge otherwise the results will look like carp. If you turn on the wall then the results will look like carp due to skid marks and smear marks so when you turn your sponge do so in the air, not on the wall. Use an up and down bouncing ball motion
