Beginners – Week 3
Using Sponge and Toothbrush
This week was all about learning how to use sponges and toothbrushes to add textures to paintings, then using this technique to paint some fruit.
Sponges
First exercise was to test various sponges.
Next we used sponges and toothbrushes to paint some fruit. Masks were cut out of tracing paper to control where the splatter went.
Homework
At home I painted some more fruit – single pear, orange and lemon, then a bowl full.
I also did some more testing with a range of sponges.
