Royal & Langnickel Sea Wool natural sponges, approx. 11 cm, 2-pack

Give paint a lively, irregular pattern with these large Sea Wool sponges. Their natural shapes and varying pore sizes suit stippling, marbled effects and decorative sponge painting. They absorb water and offer a broad contact area for dabbing.

Two large natural sponges

This Royal & Langnickel R2097 pack contains two Sea Wool sponges, approximately 11 cm each. They are natural sea sponges; Sea Wool names the type, rather than sheep’s wool. Shapes and dimensions vary. Paint, dyes and other materials are not included.

Varying your marks

The pack lists acrylics, oils, watercolour, fabric paints and dyes. Choose paint suitable for your surface and follow its drying and fixing instructions. You can use the two sponges for different colours without repeatedly switching the paint on one sponge.

1. Pick up a little paint and dab off the excess on a test piece.
2. Dab with light, varying pressure and rotate the sponge to reduce repetition in the pattern.
3. Let a layer dry if needed before adding another colour; try the combination on a scrap first.

Cleaning and storage

Clean promptly according to the instructions for the paint you used. Let the sponges dry thoroughly before storing them, and keep a sponge for clean water separate from one containing paint residue.
