I used a Kitchen Sponge to Create my Painting!

- Art has always been my escape from the mundane routines of daily life. The vibrant colors and endless possibilities of acrylic painting have fascinated me for years. One evening, as I gazed at the stunning sunset outside my window, I felt an overwhelming urge to capture its beauty on canvas. Coincidentally, I was commissioned to create a sunset painting. So I decided I wanted to use a unique technique I've used in the past. That's when I decided to use a simple kitchen sponge to create a stunning acrylic sunset painting.
What I used:
Acrylic paints in various sunset colors
Canvas
A kitchen sponge
Brush
Water
Palette
Paper towels
Inspiration from a beautiful sunset
The Process:
Setting the Mood: To begin, I prepared my workspace by dimming the lights and playing soft music to set a relaxing atmosphere. I wanted to immerse myself in the creative process and channel the serenity of the sunset into my painting.
Choosing Colors: Sunset paintings are all about capturing the warm, gradient hues of the setting sun. I squeezed out the acrylic paints onto my palette, selecting the various shades ( I show you all the colors I used in the video near the end ) .
Sponging Technique: This was the most exciting part of the process. I took a clean kitchen sponge and dipped it lightly into the paint. Then, with gentle dabbing and circular motions, I began to apply the paint to the canvas, working my way down and across.
Adding Depth: To enhance the depth of the painting, I used the sponge to apply the darker shades and kept working to blend the shades together.
Blending is crucial in creating a realistic sunset.
Using a kitchen sponge to create an acrylic sunset painting was a unique and fulfilling experience. It allowed me to experiment with texture and capture the essence of a stunning sunset on canvas. This technique not only resulted in a beautiful piece of art but also provided a sense of accomplishment and relaxation that can only come from the world of creativity. The next time you're inspired by the beauty of nature, consider trying this unconventional approach to painting and watch your creativity soar to new heights.

It's amazing what you can do with simple tools, in this case, a kitchen sponge. Love the end result. What do you think? Always love to hear from you! ❤❤😁😁
I love the simplicity too Soraya and isn’t it so cathartic as you blend your paints ❤
I agree, it's amazing what can be done with a simple tool like a kitchen sponge. The end result is also very pleasant. ❤❤😁😁
👍👏👏👏 восторг, браво!
What an amazing gift artists have!!!!!
are you using retarder ? or extender ?
Very beautiful painting, amazing artwork thanks for sharing have a great day God bless ❤️👍
Thank you! You too!
Very beautiful scenery painting using sponge.
Thank you so much 😀
Brilliant work
Thanks so much!💕
I love this piece! Beautifully done!! I'm a realist in my work! But I should give a try and have fun playing with it! I'm so stuck on the realism it sometimes gives me stress. I'm a perfectionist in my work, but am getting better on that!!🤣🤣🤣
It's the way God wired me. He wired you perfectionists for you as well!! Beautiful work!! Thanks for sharing!
I love this method! It’s almost surreal but still obviously an ocean sunset.
Thank you very much! 😁💕
Love it Soraya! I've got sponge painting on my to do list and you make it look so good. Thanks for sharing your talents!
Have fun! and thank you so much 😁💕
Thank you so much for your work. You gave me "light" in my life. Trust me, it's true. love your work, your voice, your comments...
Wow, thank you💖💖 you’ve made my day 😁
Thankyou for patiently passing along your techniques to help those of us still learning.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 😁❤️
Very clever and creative. I'm impressed at how you found a nice balance in cutting it down to 13 minutes long without fast forwarding through everything. I think it's cool when people can create art with unusual and minimal art tools. Brilliantly done! Also a huge congrats on getting so many views, looks like you may have the beginning of a viral video on your hands!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I'm super excited on how many views this is getting! Thanks for watching.
@@SorayaZiziArtist I hope you surpass 100K! I know from experience surpassing 100K is fun.
Absolutely beautiful! Love your sponge technique. You are truly an amazing artist. Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much! Very kind 💕💕
Amazing always watching inspiring artist during a break.
Thank you so much 😁💖
Hope all the family are doing well keep up the good work and will catch u at the next 👍
Thanks for the visit!
Oh wow, this is beautiful Soraya. It looks like an oil painting from the way you blend the paint ❤ would love more of these! Such a gorgeous sky
Thank you Lina😀
Hmm more than just coincidental daubing Soraya, you are an artist as much with a sponge as with a brush. Amateurs cant paint sea waves by chance or even clouds. They end up with mud. You are gifted.
Thank you so very much 💖😁 Very kind!
This is the 1st time I've seen your video. Painted for more than 40 years and have never thought of using a sponge that way! Thanks for the idea.....I'll be doing one tomorrow. Yours is great! Dot Robinson, Michigan
Great to hear you’ll be trying it! 😀 Thank you 💕
❤ yess and yess I am going to try 😊😊😊 thanks to you , 🤗🤗🤗💌

Good morning, Soraya.
What a wonderful video. In my experience painting, I’ve yet to use a sponge to create the foundation of the sky. Thank you for sharing and yes, I’m going to try it.
I hope all is well. Have a great week. 😎

oh my, the blue colour is so pretty. Only your magic hands and your eye for colour can turn a painting from a simple sponge into a pretty picture. Love how you blend the white to create waves and the clouds and the end result.

New subbie here. Loved this painting Soraya, very interesting, effective technique. I've never thought to use a sponge like this, but will definitely be trying it out - seems a good way to tackle larger projects. Have to say, I laughed at the state of your brush, looks like it has seen some service! Thanks for giving your time and so generously sharing your knowledge, I look forward to catching up on more of your work, best wishes from Scotland 🏴

I really like the serendipitous effects you get using the sponge! I gonna try this. It looks like you are also using an old, worn brush, which also makes nice accidental marks! I like that effect, as well!
Yes! Thank you!

I will definitely use this sky method,I hate doing skies in acrylic,but this looks much more blendable. I love the Pebeo paints especially the Rich Gold, an amazingly low price for such a good thick shiny paint.
That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching 😀💕
I am definitely going to try your kitchen sponge method! It has so inspired me to whip the dust off and get out my paint! 😊
