100 people that envy yer work are so jealous of ya that the disliked the video. Bully fer them losers! Great job, I've done this on Roman columns in a home before!
AWESOME BIT OF ART MATE. WATCHED A FEW VID TUTORIALS ON PAINTING BLACK N GOLD MARBLE EFFECT. THIS ONE IS EFFECTIVE, NOT TOO LONG, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT AND AWESOME RESULT.
I can't believe I am back here after two yrs-that is how much your video has stood out. I dragged a bureau from a dumpster (for art supplies!) and have nothing to lose with attempting this for the top. Hint: I have seen veins done with feathers, but I still covet your brushes! from Toronto, ☮
As a long time sign painter ( as opposed to sing maker), I use a handful of techniques to marbleize. I tried this, it is one of the best (results) though it takes a lot of patience to do. Thumbs up for
a guy that I worked with in the movie studios used a dagger which is a pin-striping brush it can make a fine line in on direction and with the bristles jostled a little will make multiple lines when moved sideways. Marbleizing is much when you are doing it on a horizontal surface.
I love this so much. This is my favorite marble. I have seen this real marble on an antique table top from New Orleans once owned by my grandmother. When I’ve seen similar in a granite warehouse it was soo expensive. Unfortunately I did not inherit the marble top table but I’m going to try to copy your technique on my kitchen island. Can you please list the paint products you used. For example the matte medium? , the sealer aka varnish brand name you used as a final top coat, and paint you used for the base coat?
You are "the"faux marble guy. I 've never seen a work like yours ,i thought i was pretty good before seeing this video but i'm an apprentice compare to you.ahahahah. bravissimo !!! Thank you .love from italy P.S. are you working with acrilics?
Thank you Giovanna, we appreciate you watching and appreciating the video. Pierre typically uses Golden Slow Dry Fluid Acrylics for his faux marble work. It dries slower than standard acrylic paint. - Dinzel www.fauxbrushes.com/products/pgz-09-golden-pro-slow-dry-fluid-acrylic?_pos=1&_psq=slow-dry&_ss=e&_v=1.0
hi, I loved the end result of this project. I'm thinking of doing this to a kitchen table I have, I'm unsure of the paints I can mix, if I use acrylic paints, can I use a clear wood varnish as my top layer? Is there something else you think I should use? Also can I mix acrylics with emulsion paints? It was after I watched your video I decided to do my table, as you used black and gold, most other videos used white and black and water to give texture to the darker layers of Grey's and blacks they used as the base colour , I hope mine turns out half as good as yours did, thanks for uploading this helpful video. Happy New Year.
I love the technique, but sitting a tub on wood doesn't make sense to me! And then pretending it isn't wood... even less. I would have gone with a masonry solution and created voids with Styrofoam if weight was an issue!
I think weight *was* an issue, since tubs weight 300 lbs, plus approx 700 lbs of water-all concentrated on only four claws ( = very high psi) Also, we had a claw foot tub and the plumbing for them comes out of the floor, so any holes would further weaken marble-which hates bending! Also, marble floors are cool so, often pipes are run underneath for warmth = $$$ from Toronto, ☮
Weight is a big issue and with a properly supported framework, this is a good idea. Adding another 300 or more pounds of masonry to a floor( whats under it?) along with the tub and full of water....nah.
Your work is amazing, however you leave a LOT out as far as explaining. You said nothing about how you did step one, other than the word "alcohol." Perhaps you can do a voice over and explain for us?
At that point you see at the start of the video, he puts a layer of ( most probable) clear glaze, and after that lays some color with the badger brush, after that he stipples it with the Chiqueter and then splatters the alcohol and stipples again with the Chiqueter brush The alcohol will break the glaze and create these circles you see. 95" deg. alcohol will do , or Isipropyl as well. The secret lies in the timing and that has to do with how much water is in there in the glaze. Cause without water there will be no reactionand no effect. So glaze ( with or without color) with some water in it. ( experiment on percentage start with 10% water ) and after application of it splatter the alcohol Hope this helps as none share secrets.
One can watch you work for a thousand times and can still not duplicate your creation. Just amazing!
Don't put yourself down and count others into you lack of confidence! Move on suck up!
I miss your oil glaze finishes but am still amazed at your realism in the trade

Very nice rendition

would have liked to see what paints you used and a step by step instructions.

So I assume the base coat is an oil base due to its reaction to sprayed water ?
just great! and thank you :) kisses from Slovenia
Amazing! Mind officially blown.
Pierre, what kind of varnish did you use? Oil or Latex and how many coats you applied to achieve the nice look. Thank you.
Very nice looks real. Are those acrylic colors are similar like these we use for painting?

Well done, hope to attempt it without the quite the investment in brushes!
The master Pierre Hope you are well!
beautiful job ....thank for the video .....

Wish you had added a still picture of the final product at the end. Very well done, though!
I have stills if you still need them
this is some great work you can get the same alcohol effect on oil with Naphtha "lighter fluid"
I would have liked to have seen slightly less of the white veining. Having said that, I really admire your work.
Sorry for the late reply, the base coat is more black than grey -- but not completely black
Supplies Descriptions?
Beautiful work!
Thats a good job brother but is that a stucco or what
СУПЕР!!! БРАВО!!!
That is amazing work, hey can you do my tower speaker cabinet??!!
looks well good job
Bravo!👍🏽
Bravo
Nice job thanks to uploading ,,,,,,,,
The best
What brand of acrylic are you using? Is it the glossy version?
what kind of paint your using for the veining and the base is it black or grey ?
is water paint or sintetich wat is use ?
Top marmer
интересная техника, мне понравилась. готов поучиться.
j aimerais bien faire partie de votre equipe
monsieur pierre
👏
nice .
C'est quoi ce travail de sagouin
It pays to have sacking hands for the veining effect.

Just to add to my other comment, marble is a beautiful stone, but it stains like crazy-even water spots-over and over again.

is that for a pole dancer lol
