Sponged finishes

Sponge painting, along with ragging, is one of the basic techniques used for many faux finishes. It creates an interesting texture that can be layered over or used on its own. Careful thought goes into selecting sponges, different types of sponge give different finishes.

The holes in the sponge created a specked look, allowing the base layer to show though. This is necessary for imitating stones like granite.
