A stipple sponge can be very useful to you in face painting!
It’s a textured sponge with lots of holes that when applied can give you a great stubble effect.
It works great on pirate face painting designs when trying to create a 5 o’clock shadow and makes it easy to paint clouds on a design with a blue sky. You can use it to create leaves/bush on trees and it can help you create some pretty impressive sea foam effects on an ocean themed design.
Get yourself a stipple sponge now and start practicing so you can have this great face painting technique under your belt!
If you already use stipple sponges, tell us which designs you use them on…
Happy Face Painting,
Philadelphia Tivoli

Hi your comment is stunning.
I like your diary..
bye
Also great to sponge on the foam at the bottom of a waterfall or even to add texture to a monsters skin/reptile/snake etc!!
Good Idea!! I do have a stipple sponge but so far I’ve only used it for beards. I am most definitely going to have to start using the sponge for texture on the many different reptiles boys like to get. Thank you Philadelphia Tivoli!
Oh AND thank you as well Face Painting Tips! my Trees and Ocean scenes could really use texture too.
