It is nice to learn some quick tips from more experienced painters...sometimes effects that seem difficult to achieve are actually simple, like the teardrop. It looks like you have some real talent for painting. I like the portrait that you did, it's really good! The skeleton and butterfly are great too..your son is adorable!! Hi Kim!~

If it goes on too thickly with your sponge then you don't have enough water. I spritz the color with a water bottle, then drag my dry sponge across until the cake looks nearly dry again (several swipes), then I half pat, half drag the color where i want it. Actually if you look closely, you can see I had a bit too much water with the shark gray- because it is a bit translucent. It takes practice and I'm still learning! kim Hi Cindy- getting the right amount of water on a brush or a sponge really is quite tricky and I still mess it up sometimes.
