How can I depth in my sponge painting?

Sponge Painting

Sponging light over dark gives an illusion of depth. Applying a dark color over a lighter one produces a more defined, textured look. If you are sponging on more than one color and are using latex paint, wait until each application is dry to the touch before you start applying the next paint.
