The art of paint marbling  Cover Image Book Book

The art of paint marbling / Rene Eisenbart.

Eisenbart, René, (author.).

Summary:

Paint marbling is a contemporary technique with a long history. What started hundreds of years ago as the Japanese ink-based art of suminagashi has evolved into a fun, modern art form that's popular on YouTube and has been hailed as a trend by The New York Times. Nowadays, paint marbling uses a base of thickened water, onto which paint or another medium is poured and then swirled. Dipping paper directly into the paint creates beautiful, abstract art that's easy to do at home using minimal, affordable supplies. Using step-by-step projects with thorough instructions, artists can use paint, ink, nail polish, and more to create marbled artwork on a variety of surfaces, including paper and canvas. Large, beautiful, and colourful photos accompany all of the projects and techniques. Paint marbling serves as a fun hobby for beginners, a new art form for more advanced artists looking for alternative techniques, and a family activity perfect for artists young and old.
