Boy you had me fooled!!!! "I had decided that you Just-Didn’t- Like-the-Color-Green.!!!!Boy, you had me fooled. After watching you paint this lovely landscape and it’s many shades of green, you made me question how I saw things. You did a wonderful job with your sea sponge even though you really do a great job with your blues and purples. I hope you don’t take this wrong because anything you. P ,

Next day i tried the sponge tap method on cheap practice paper. I use tray paints so I didn’t have saturated paint as the tube paint. First i tried the dry leftovers on my pallet I found the best part of my sponge. The paint was Still too weak. Then i tried tapping my clean wet sponge right on the green colors in my paint tray. It worked great. Rinse sponge. Repeat with the yellow color range. Rinse then the red and orange area. Rinse and again with brown. Much better for the paint tray medium. I’ll try the exercise with my new technique.

Great tutorial Ellen, yes I occasionally use a natural sponge, but now I see more applications. Might even try a painting with only natural applicators, sponge, lichen, twig, feather, sand with the grandkids, how fun! My off subject question though, what would you suggest for a fixative for watercolor postcards to actually survive being mailed? Or best to put in an envelope instead? Thanks

I love your ideas and effects but I need to find something that is similar but synthetic as sea sponges are animals and the divers put their lives at risk every time they harvest them Can you recommend anything similar please ?

@rosemary288
@rosemary288 Год назад
@@ellencrimitrent I’m thinking she’s asking for a synthetic version. And I believe the answer is no. Other then the sponges we use for household cleaning. (Which has its place in painting, but I’ve only use sea sponges). But I’m not sure of her concern for divers. Here in FL is a town call Tarpon Springs which is known for its sea sponge trade - and thereby draws many tourists - the economy of the town is based on both. Look it up! I live pretty far from tarpon springs so I haven’t been, but I bet you’d enjoy visiting there during their sponge/seafood festivals, or enjoy some on site plein air painting - which is what I’d do if I can ever get over that way!!!
