the next technique will be doing issponge painting - but this is different than any other sponge painting that you may have done in the past now if you look closely at my spongeroller it's got big chunks missing from it
home depot yellow paint colors, the reason why - this creates thevariation you should take the sponge roller andpull pieces out to create a random pattern which is desirable on the wallsurface when you're painting - pay particular attention to your edgesmaking sure that those harsh lines are
left jagged when you're finished pullingthe sponge pieces out - before you begin, you will need a base coat of a satin finish paint on your wall - in order to create this look you'll wantto apply glaze to the surface using a roller the most efficient way to getprofessional looking results is to ask a friend to come and give you a hand byrolling on the glaze - while you finish up with the the sponge roller to create the look - inthis situation i've got my friend julie - julie will apply the glaze to the surface - she will roll in "columns" so that the glaze will stay wet -
we don't want the glaze to dry before i can use the sponge roller to blend. while julie is continuing to apply the glaze, i will follow behind her doing the blending. i begin by rolling a pattern through the glaze - i create a pattern by rolling through cuttingthrough the glaze i'm going to roll back and forth to create the look - keep in mind the more you roll the softer the look. - so if you're looking for a real mutedlook, you will roll more - if you want a
jagged and crisp look, you'll roll less. you can go ahead and blend until you're happy! now as you're working on your surface the glaze is actually transferring fromthe wall to the sponge roller - when you're sponge roller get saturated - you don't need to wash it out - just simply take it to a softcotton cloth or paper towel - preferably lint-free and download someof that glaze - then we're gonna need to go ahead and continue on the while juliewill go ahead and finish up by applying
the glaze to the surface - again - like i said - keeping a couplecolumns ahead of me and while she's continuing down the wall - i'm rolling as well - one thing that is different as i'vementioned before - the sponge roller is different from the kind of spongepainting most of us have done -
in my opinion it's a very sophisticated look - i think it's beautiful so have fun painting with the spongepainting roller
thanks for watching
