Key Skills #1: Sponging
Next class: TBA
In this class you will learn all about the sponges that are used by face painters for applying base colours:
- soft curved
- firmer hard edged
- petal sponges
- textured, stipple
- and more!
You will learn the different applications for each type of sponge.
You will learn all the tricks and methods for using sponges:
- loading with two or three colours
- blending several colours
- how to apply a white base
- picking up several colours from a split cake and from a one stroke
- using stencils with a sponge
I will demonstrate different methods and you can practice alongside and ask questions as we go.
We want you to be comfortable and relaxed so that you can enjoy our new online classes. Each class will last 2 hours, with time for questions and interaction. We’ll be using Zoom, and will send full instructions beforehand so you can be confident with the technology. In each module, I will demonstrate different methods and you can practice alongside and ask questions as we go. Classes will be limited to 10 people so I can give students individual attention.
You will need paint, sponges, brushes and a practice board or paper to work on.
