Natural Sea Sponges for Watercolourists

 Natural sea sponges are a valuable tool for watercolourists. Can be used to create a variation of textures and patterns. They can also be used for applying large washes and cleaning up unwanted paint of moisture or to delete brush strokes tracks and correct mistakes. 
   Excellent for lifting paint and for softening and blending colours.
   Natural sponges are better than synthetic sponges when it comes to artistic use because are better at holding colour and water like the natural hair paintbrushes. But not only hold colour and water between their fibres but also absorb it directly into the fibre itself, allowing for greater colour load and longer application time.

   A natural sea sponge will not leave trace hairs behind in the layers so artists can apply multiple layers. 
   The natural sponges are very durable and washable and as long as they take proper care like wash after every use, then they will last ages, and they will not degrade as the synthetic sponges.

 Being a natural product, each sponge has a slightly different shape and texture,
helping to create great depth in the artistic works.

     Natural sea sponges are great for:

 Creating effects such as smoke and foliage

Creating special effects

Organically textured effects

Stippling

Sponging on and sponging off

Absorbing excess saturation

Lifting paint

Softening and blending colors

Applying thin glazes of color

Removing unwanted washes

   Natural Sea Sponges are better on the environment than their synthetic competitors, and will last longer even for the most demanding of artistic uses.
