Using a Sponge ~Acrylic Painting Tutorial

Creating a painting with a kitchen sponge is a delightful and unconventional artistic endeavor that brings forth a unique texture and charm. The porous nature of the sponge allows for an interesting interplay of colors and shapes on the canvas. Dipping the sponge into a palette of vibrant hues, the artist can then gently press and dab it onto the canvas, creating a dynamic and textured surface. The irregularities of the sponge's surface give rise to organic patterns and unexpected blends of colors, adding an element of spontaneity to the creative process. As the artist navigates the canvas with the sponge, they have the freedom to experiment with various techniques, from stippling and stippling to blending and layering. The result is a visually captivating piece of art that captures the essence of experimentation and innovation in the realm of painting.

Beautiful, to me it looks similar to pastels. Sponges are such a wonderful tool to paint with acrylics. I wonder why there aren't many sponge brushes options.

[@SorayaZiziArtist]

Thank you! 😀

[@judithbrescia9981]

Please Dear Artist, Not only do you have to step back, you have to step out of your body & soul and become a stranger who is looking apon this wonder. You have a third eye for color, and the rest is a God given gift. I and I'm sure a lot of us just Love your work. Stay Well.

[@mspelleri]

A lovely relaxing video. It is so interesting to see how to changes and appears. At first I thought it was going to be mountain peaks in the clouds from the perspective of a higher peak. I was amazed how a little bit of spray and white lines turned it into a raging sea. Beautiful and inspiring.

[@SorayaZiziArtist]

Thank you very much! 😊💕

[@WillieBStudios]

Shoo this 8s gorgeous! Funny enough I started working on natural sponge painted cloud pieces a few weeks ago and just need to jump into a larger piece! This totally inspired me and has pushed me to go for it. Love the dark purple area ! I kept saying ...just go for it!❤

[@SorayaZiziArtist]

[@rayvirgoe7231]

Just subscribed. You remind me of my father. Nothing deterred him. He changed direction often and it was a wonder watching him do a landscape. I started to draw two years ago. I used to try while watching him, but it was pathetic. He used to take my scribbles and turn them into masterpieces. I am finding portraiture and illustration more my forte. But mixing colors and putting them together is extremely challenging. Again, watching you, it takes the fear out of the challenge, and the fun back into it. Thank you. 😊😊😊😊

[@SorayaZiziArtist]

Oh wow! That is so wonderful to hear! 😁 what an incredible honour you’ve given me. Thank you 💖 Enjoy the process 😁 Thanks for joining and for watching!
