Beautiful! The setup is so nice, makes the process seem easy, although for sure it’s not! Thank you for sharing and making the video calm, without background music.
This is the very best example of marbling being done in such a way that I could possibly tackle. And that last part where you parked the leaning board and flushed the paper with water which ran into a bucket below was just genius! Thank you for posting this video :-)
To be honest when you first put the colors in I was thinking that color combo just wasn't for me. But once you started marbling them--wow! Suddenly I couldn't imagine a more beautiful blend of colors.
Just amazing. I can see that you could have laid the paper in the bath a number of times during the process to produce different designs, but each step added more & more detail to the final design. Oo-rah
I LOVED UR VIDEO, DO U HAVE ANY VIDS ABOUT UR SET UP, WHERE U BOUGHT OR HOW U MADE UR TOOLS. I WISH I COULD SEE UR DRAINAGE THING U HAVE GOING BACK THERE BUT I LUVD IT - THANK U
I'd love to know if you've ever tried this using India ink? I lucked upon some and would love to use it for marbling. Thank you. Your work is beautiful
I don’t use ox gall. I just dilute acrylic paint with distilled water, that’s all. Not all acrylic paint works, you have to kind of hunt around for what works. I use Utrecht, lots of their colors work excellently.
Nope, didn't design it. There are a few places online you can find marbling equipment. What I'm using in this video is the setup that my school has (North Bennet St. School in Boston)
After pre treating paper with alum ,is it dried before placing it on painting in bath. How do we put alum ? Do we spread the alum mixture with a brush Can we use gelatine in place of carrageenan.
I use a spray bottle to spray the alum on to the paper and then use a sea sponge to make sure it’s spread over the whole surface. I wouldn’t use a brush, it would be harder to get an even coating without having to use way more than you’d need. The sponge works great. And yes, the paper definitely has to be completely dry after alum before you use it! People use various things to make the bath. Carrageenan is traditional and very easy to use, so I haven’t tried anything else. Really, anything would work so long as whatever paint your using will float and spread over the surface of the bath.
Hi, i've read and heard about paint thinned with water 4:1, but most important, everyone place say you need liquid ox gall as paint humidifier or something like that. Is it true is essential? or can you not use it and have kinda the same result? thanks a lot, your marbling is beautiful and your video description really useful too
Some types of marbling use ox gall to thin the paint. I just use water. I don’t know the exact ratio, it depends on the color, different pigments need more or less water, depending on what’s in them.
The rakes in this video were what they had at my school, I’m not sure who made them. The ones I use now are just wood that I drilled holes in with a drill press and dropped nails in. Not sure how to describe the consistency of the paint, it just takes some trial and error to get it right, and it depends on the pigment. It’s sort of a milky consistency.
Hi.. I loved your art. And would like to try the same technique for myself. I tried doing that with normal water and oil paints but the paint effects never remains satable due to water. Do you use any thick solution for that? How come your colours are so stable and not moving? Would also like to know which type of colours do you use so that I can ask here in India for the same.
Do we dilute carrageen in little hot water before pouring it into the tray of cold water, or we just mix it directly into the tray of cold water... thanks ur art is pretty .it has inspired me
The carrageenan needs to be mixed thoroughly with the water with a blender (3TBS/gallon of water) I just use room temperature water from the tap, depending on the quality of the water where you are you might have to use distilled water, it’s really a matter of trial and error till you get all the pieces working together just right. After mixing the carrageenan and water you have to let it sit till all the bubbles are gone, this also gives the mixture a chance to become nice and homogeneous. This takes several hours, I usually mix up a bath the evening before I want to marble so it can sit overnight. And then I use the bath for a couple days or until it gets thick. Water or fresh carrageenan can be added through the day to keep it fresh as well. I usually mix a gallon or so extra to have on hand as I marble to keep the bath full and moving correctly.
First time seeing anything like this. I don't blame you for not sharing info. If you shared then everyone would be doing this. Can you dip fabric instead of paper. Beautiful.
Acrylic sticks to fabric just fine, but stiffens it - acrylic is plastic, so you’d be forming a plastic film on/in the fabric. Might work for displayed prints, but not so much for clothing, scarves, et cetera.
Marbling is a very old art form and much information can be found online and in books about how to do it. My videos were not intended to be tutorials. And yes, marbling works very well in fabric (and May over materials as well) provided it is treated with alum so the paint will stick.
All the information about the process and materials is in the title and the description. The strips of paper are to clean the surface of the bath between uses.
@@rachelcampbell6147 Thank you! What would be carrageenan? I'm from Argentina, maybe it has another name here, because on the internet it appears to me that it is an algae
Yes, that is what it is. It comes in a powdered form and is used as a thickener. It has been used to make the bath for paper marbling for hundreds of years.
It doesn’t actually, all of the paints stay floating on the surface. Because it the first layer applied it spreads over the whole surface of the bath, it becomes too thin to see its color until other paints are added and it is pushed back into a smaller surface area, thereby becoming more dense. As more and more paint is added each new layer cannot expand as far, because of the resistance of all of the other paint already on the surface. You want to keep adding layers until they won’t expand at all, that’s how you know that the surface is “full” and all the colors will look vivid on the finished paper. If not enough paint is added then the colors will all look washed out and pale, since they have to be spread out over a greater area.
Could be a number of things. It depends on what kind of bath and paints you’re using. Most likely your bath and/or paints aren’t mixed correctly. Perhaps try a thicker bath? Marbling is a delicate balance between those things and every pigment behaves a little differently, especially if you’re using store bought paints which vary greatly in their composition.
I just used the powdered carrageenan you can get for marbling, I don’t know what other kinds there are. And I just use tap water for the bath. Depends on where you are, city or well water doesn’t always work depending on what’s in it. But in those cases I just use distilled water. And I mix the paints with distilled water, they bad quicker with tap water.
sorry but I don't speak your language Would it be possible to know what kind of paint to use and what is the base liquid? can it be acrylic paint or is it another type? Thank you very much for your help, the papers are beautiful
Do you add ANY type chemical to the water prior to doing a pattern ???? I believe somewhere, I heard a chemical was added. It may have been by another artist.
I just blend the carrageenan with tap water. I know my water works but you can use distilled water instead if you want to eliminate variables. I just use it cold or at room temperature, whatever comes out of the faucet really. And I buy my carrageenan ready for marbling. I don’t know if that’s refined or not r what that would mean.
I really like a paper called texoprint. It’s the easiest to marble with. It’s thin but also very strong so it’s easy to work with when it’s wet. But I use a lot of ingres paper as well.
Beautiful! The setup is so nice, makes the process seem easy, although for sure it’s not! Thank you for sharing and making the video calm, without background music.

Wow that is one super efficient, neat, organised, slick set up! 😍😍😍
4:30 made me feel things that I've never felt before...lovely things...sigh I just need time to think. This is all so new!
Absolutely stunning. First time I see a professional doing it. Who knows what they are doing. Than some amateur attempting and call it hydro dipping
Thank you! Hydro dipping uses basically the same principle as paper marbling, it is merely the modern application of the technique.
Beautiful. Also my new favorite unintentional asmr channel. So relaxing
4:25 I like it at this stage the most, although it looks fun to continue
D DJ it looked like art of olives lol. It was pretty neat
4:46. Ooh thats so beautiful!!
5:05. Well they should have left it at 4:46
5:19. Lets just ignore everything that i just said
I enjoyed your video. Very calming and what you created is beautiful. Thank you. 😊
Just amazing. I can see that you could have laid the paper in the bath a number of times during the process to produce different designs, but each step added more & more detail to the final design. Oo-rah
Absolutely stunning! Cool that you're a Marine! I'm a Sailor!
Actually, it’s my brother who’s the Marine! 🙂
absolutely gorgeous marbling and such a relaxing video!
Wow acrylic paper marbling is so beautiful, but the technique is amazing.so cool video🤩🤩👍🏻🌈💕🌸🌷🌸

Hey brilliant video
I'd like to ask is ox gall really necessary for these projects. I've seen it in many video but can't get my hands on one
I don’t use ox gall. I just dilute acrylic paint with distilled water, that’s all. Not all acrylic paint works, you have to kind of hunt around for what works. I use Utrecht, lots of their colors work excellently.
Wow. That is gorgeous.
Thank you so much, this is very inspiring, I saw a Japanese art of water painting that was similar and I'm really interested in doing this myself!
That was amazing and the design...beautiful! Love all your perfect set up and equipment, which I bet you designed!

Where is this? Is there an apprenticeship program? I'm very interested in preserving the arts.
This was filmed at North Bennet St. School in Boston. I’m a graduate of their bookbinding program. We learn paper marbling during the program.
Good content of beautiful art.. keep it up! I love your style of work!
Hi Rachel, beautiful work - where did you get the tray from? Can you provide the dimensions?
How do you dry the paper? Hanging? Or flat on a surface

Why did the first color dissolve in the water while all the other colors stayed in one spot?
It doesn’t actually, all of the paints stay floating on the surface. Because it the first layer applied it spreads over the whole surface of the bath, it becomes too thin to see its color until other paints are added and it is pushed back into a smaller surface area, thereby becoming more dense.

@@rachelcampbell6147 Thanks
Are the teeth on your rakes flat? And if so, does this make a difference in how they stretch the paint out?
No, most of these combs are made out of nails or pins, so the teeth are round. The size and shape does have some effect on the movement of the paints.
how amazing !~
Well done. Thank you.
That's so beautiful. I tried this but my paint sunk to the bottom! Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Thank u so much for your answers
Wow! This is amazing. I would also love to learn this artistic skill.
Loved it.
so beautiful
Great job👍

MAGNIFIQUE
Por favor explicar como se adhiere el color al papel!
The paper is treated with alum before it is laid onto the paint, this is what makes the paint stick to the paper.
Hi, just watched your video, and the result is great! What type of carrageenan do you use? And do you use normal water or deionised? Thanks
I just used the powdered carrageenan you can get for marbling, I don’t know what other kinds there are. And I just use tap water for the bath.

what is happening when you look to the right (before doing a movement with a board+nails),
I think I'm missing one thing involving the alignment...
Don’t know what part you’re referring to exactly. Can you be more specific?
Linda obra de arte….

It's beautiful 😍
So awesome!
Beautiful love this art and want to learn if anyone help thanks
Why don't the colors run when you rinse the page at the end?
Because the paper has been pretreated with alum which acts as a mordant. See the description for more detail about the process.
Do you add ANY type chemical to the water prior to doing a pattern ???? I believe somewhere, I heard a chemical was added. It may have been by another artist.

Can you tell me what you are using to float the acrylic on? Thanks!
