Hi everyone!
Not sure if this is the correct forum to be raising my query. Am relatively new to the Acrylic forum on Wetcanvas.
I’ve been trying to get my hands on any advice on Marbling techniques on Canvas or panels using acrylics. There seems to be woefully little info
on this subject on the internet and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction… I came upon a book on Marbling ‘How to’ by Wendy M, but the book doesn’t seem to be available to those in UK. Would someone be able to help?
Thank you for your help,
Veena
Cheers

www.veenaspaintbrush.comMarbling is more of a water color process. There is an additive that Italians use for there marvelous marbling.

Oooh! Thank you all for the links… I’ll be sure to try them… any ideas on how I can do the same for big canvasses(bigger than 1m x 1m) ? Also I hear you can do the same with the acrylic mediums that are currently available. Any ideas anyone?
I’ll be sure to post how I got on with the techniques I got off you tube!
Thank you!!!

www.veenaspaintbrush.comThank you! That link was most informative… It definitely does look like I’ll need to invest in a super large tray!

www.veenaspaintbrush.comFor whatever reason I couldn’t open others links so I have no clue if this has been suggested but, on walls, pillars, floors there is a rather simple way that many craft artists or Trompe-l’oeil painters have used. I did some on walls in my daughters salon….and have a friend that did her studio floor which turned out amazing. I found this link and I’m thinking it may be close to what others have offered but can’t open those links.
This is for Marbling- Faux painting, but maybe you can revise some of what they tell you to use to work with acrylics. The result is amazing but have never done this as far as a painting on canvas or other surface.So rather then explaining maybe take a peek.
