Paint and technique

For watercolours, acrylics, oil paints and dyes. Choose paint suitable for your surface. Dab lightly, turn the sponge for a different impression and try the effect on a test piece first. Keep a separate sponge for each colour when you want to avoid mixing.

After use

With water-soluble paint, clean with soap and water and air-dry. For other paints, follow the paint’s cleaning instructions. The natural texture does not produce identical repeatable stamp impressions.
