Ninarose - no this is not sponging. The blue color is applied with a stamp called a "Tonal Applicator." It looks like a pear with a bunch of little bitty dots. By going over the same areas repeatedly, you can build up layers of color to get a subtle shading effect. It's really cool!
The only sponging I did was for the yellow reflection in the water and behind the cabin. I needed something small enough to fit in there, and a sponge quarter was perfect.
