Using a mouth atomizer completely changes your painting. It can add value to your foreground, offer a sense of movement or convey textures among other things.
So, you still may ask, what actually is a mouth atomizer? Basically, it is an L-shaped tube which you blow air into which spritzes out bits of pigment across your painting.
With practice it becomes easier to use. Along the way you will refine your technique to get paint where you want with the effect you might be after.
So far I have only used Paynes gray with this atomizer. Clearly, there are a bunch of other pigments one can experiment with. The above pattern looks like a swarm of insects or an abstract shadow pattern. I am still in the early stages of experimentation but I like playing with this new tool.
