Paint rollers (11-15) having an outer annular paint roll medium (21-25) configured and constructed to produce special effects when rolled over a work surface in a positive or negative mode of painting or in one case, in both modes simultaneously. In three embodiments, the outer medium (21-25) is constructed from a sheet of flexible material such as a sheet of thin non-porous (e.g., plastic) material or a sheet of thick resilient porous material by loosely compacting a blank of the material into a preformed shape and then wrapping the preformed shape around and affixing it to an inner roller core (16). In another embodiment, a sculptured outer medium (24) is formed by wrapping a preformed shape of sponge or sponge-like material around and affixing it to an inner roller core (16). In a further embodiment, the outer medium (25) is formed by a base layer (80) of resilient porous material and by relatively hard areas of non-porous material (88) at the outer surface of the base layer (80).
