Sponging On

Sponging On


Sponging on is the technique of applying different color paints to a uniform-color base coat. Sponging adds depth to a wall. The more colors sponged on over the base coat, the greater the depth. Glaze coats allow the base paint to show through and extend the drying time of the sponged-on color, giving you more time to work with the effect.

A satin or semigloss base coat is applied with a brush, pad, or roller. The glaze is applied over the base coat with a sea sponge.
