OMG! This is stunning! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Your talent is unbelievable! Please keep doing this amazing videos... and I hope soon you get all the subscribers you deserve 💖
So happy you love the look! I have some more awesome videos coming up soon. Your comment totally made my day! :)
This is not what I wanted to find but it is extremely creative - so much so it got my brain juices moving and gave me some inspiration to try even wilder ideas than I had originally. Thanks!
OMG, you made a level 100 painter level task look so easy.
Thank you for the appreciation on the craftsmanship!
STUNNING!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE STEP BY STEP
You are so welcome!
Love this, beautiful job.
Thank you! 😊
great work but the random loud music is quite unnecessary..
Thank you! Ugh I know.. it was a terrible video editing error.
Lovely work... Ur lounge looks amazing
Thank you so much 😊
This looks amazing, and it wasn't' the marble style I was looking for, but it looks better than what I wanted! I'm so in love with this!
Awe your comment totally made my day :) Glad you like it!
I like what you have done . Bit was wondering why you didn't use a gloss roller. 🤔. But really love the effect
It looks more like poured paint art than marble.
Looks great on that wall.
Thank you! Cheers!
So beautiful,Great work. I want to try this up my stairwell horizontally and I have a taller wall to paint as well.
Wow that is absolutely GORGEOUS 🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰 👏 🙌 👏
Beca! U R very talented, i like your work style and u r looking beautiful same as your work, God Bless You.
Awe thank you so much for the positive feedback!
Redo the video without the frickin music. It goes from to quiet when you talk to really loud music.
I definitely need to change the music on this video. I appreciate the input.
Very very nice so proud of you
This is gorgeous!
Thank you Ruby! It really came out beautiful and so happy that you all like it!
Hello beautiful
Woooow, just wow
Thank you for the positive comment!
It's artistic and looks great. It doesn't resemble any marble I've ever seen. The audio was to much for me to bear, consistently blasting the music 5 times louder than your spoken words made me to jump to the end of the video early on to see the end results. Its my suggestion you keep audio levels equal.
Best instruction and amazing art!
BUT THE MUSIC WAS WAYYYY TOO LOUUUUUUUD 🙈
Thanks! Yes i know 😭 My video editing skills has gotten MUCH better since I created this video lol
Omg nice work
Thank you very much!
I love the way u paint, it’s not messy, like I do😹
Awe thank you for the compliment! Trust me I make a mess when I paint lol but I always make sure to clean up before I shoot the video. Also, buying plastic sheets for the floor is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for an easy clean up.
This was soooooo helpful!!!! Especially the “veins” -
I was stuck! I’ll post pic soon!
Yay :) I'm so happy that I was able to help! Send me your fin mural on IG: @beca_castel Love to share the work of my fans.
ow noh?? what did you do to your wall?😮
Yeah it's definitely a unique type of marble look. This is what the client wanted and this is what she liked lol
Looks great! How many hours did this take not including the basecoat and topcoat?
Great question! It honestly it took me about 5 days to do. I averaged about 5-6 hours a day. The main thing is adding layers upon layers of "marble" to make it look realistic. Those subtlety in the darks and highlights take time to build but the end results are stunning.
@@becacastel8978 thanks for your response! I may be attempting something like this and wanted to know what I'm getting into. I can imagine so many layers!
Amazinggg!!!😩🤍
Thank you so much for the support!
Super
Thank you!
Good work really. But it looks like a design on a wall which looks great but not marble or a marble wall....It definitely needs to be blended more with more layers nd veins if you want to it to look like marble. I think you'll definitely get there just keep up yhe good work
Hi Wayne! I appreciate your honest feedback. When researching on different marble looks I realized that a "marble effect" can vary greatly depending on the type of look you are going for. Some marble is more blended with faint veins. Then there are other marble styles that are more dramatic and contrasted. In the end it depends on your personal style and what look you want to achieve. In this case, my client wanted a more dramatic and contrasted look. Ultimately this video shows you the basic "techniques" to do a marble effect. However, it up to you how you want to use these techniques to achieve the "style" of marble look that you are looking for.
@@becacastel8978great work indeed, giving you compliments as a painter with 20 years on the trades. However i tend to go with what Wayne said. Your art does not resemble marble IMO. Nonetheless it's better than marble effect in my view, because it's unique and definitely Art. Keep up the good work girl!
@@antoniocanto964 Thank you Antonio for taking the time to write to me. I greatly appreciate your comment!
OmG!I watched this video I know a 100 times!!!Im going to do this in my hair salon but in different colors of Pink!I can’t wait to to do this.thanks for such a beautiful & creative video.
Awe thank you Ellen. I greatly appreciate the feedback. I would love to see how you implemented these techniques in your salon. Tag me on instagram @beca_castel so I can see your masterpiece!
Did you ever do it im going to go black white and grey marble for a accent wall with black ceiling and doors ans the remaining walls white
LOL! Ovo liči na neko čudno rastinje iz S/F filmova. Ni nalik jbnm mermeru.
Anybody in Dallas who knows how to do this. I will pay you!
Wooow amazing❤️❤️👍🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
Could this work with metallic paint?
Great question! This can possibly work with metallic paint. However, metallic paint dries very very fast and can be kinda transparent when you wet it. I would recommend using a regular paint first as a base color. Then you can add a metallic paint on top of it as an accent.
@@becacastel8978 okay cool, thanks!
“Exageratve?” And what in Hell makes it organic? No fertilizer?
LMAO Let me explain. When I mean by "exaggerative" movements is by not being stiff and precise when you are blending. Have your blending strokes be loose and spread the paint. "Organic" means that don't have any sharp edges and make the blending look soft and natural. Thank you for asking, so I can clarify.
I loved this video but I had to use subs and turn off sound the loud music randomly started giving me a headache
Yes, sorry about that! I did a terrible job editing the music in this video. I think I'm going to turn off the music completely. Thanks for the feedback!
It's definitely beautiful but I wouldn't consider that marbel.
Yes, it definitely came out beautiful. thank you for the compliment. There are so many different types of "marble" looks. This "look" is definitely not common nor is it typical. However, that is what makes it beautiful and different. Thank you for watching!
Please giving me the picture I want paint thiss
That is great to hear! If you go on my video and go to 4:21 you can take a screenshot of the picture I used to create this mural.
I love marble effect walls, yet I just did not like this..sorry. The reason I didn;t like it, was it created too closed in feel and the height wasn't justified. If I had been comissioned this job, to create an illiusion of more space, form and light, I would have really been more soft on the blue(s) and put more tones of white, grays and flicks of gold. I just think the room was too small for such a beautiful effect, that you created.
Hi Atherton! I totally get what you mean. The original design was a softer blue to allow more light in the room. However, during the process the client wanted the blue to be even darker and more dramatic. I was a bit hesitant because of the space and lighting of the room so I agree with your points. However, since this was a commissioned piece I have to abide to what the client wants. Even if I don't think that it would be the best look for the room. I appreciate the feedback!
For me the White walls looked like "I will not touch it cause one mistake and I'm done" but for you it was like "This just looks like a White Canvas, ez"
lol trust me it was nerve racking at first. However, having a plan and design in hand before you start is super important to make the effect look effortless.
Yeah.........nah , nice effect but it ain't THE marbling tutorial , there are so many variations of "how to marble" and they are all called "how to marble" which basically tells you there are variations of "the theme of marbling" so it's kinda moot to say "this is how to marble" , it is more apt to say "this variation of a marbling technique gave me this result" .... sorry to sound pedantic but this isn't "how to marble"....all power to you though and you must feel a real thrill from having the skill to set yourself so free 🌹
Hi Nicolas. You are right! There are many different ways to "marble". Marbling is varied greatly by style, color, and even the surface. The basic 3 step technique that I showed can be modified depending on the "style" of marbling. I'm actually going to upload a video in the next few days of another marbling technique that I used to transform my client's foyer. Make sure to stay tuned and love to hear your feedback.
@@becacastel8978 Marbling is well known and is a mandatory and necessary skill to have in restoration and bespoke design studios , the departure from "classic" marbling is evident in the exciting , re-imagined and authentic visual variations of the marbling "theme" that we see being produced by truly talented artists and in the same light are encouraged by aspiring adventurers sharing their discoveries. I for one am delighted by the depth and range of exquisite contours and "textures" that "marbling" reveals.
The channels I be finding these days....goshhhhh pure talent❤️❤️❤️
Awe thank you so much! That totally made my day ❤️
Mi proyecto final del 2021...,,
Que bueno! :)
I want this in my room but this looks difficult to achieve
I would reccomend trying to do this on a small wall or on a poster board first so that you can practice before doing it on a big wall.
Im working on a marble wall efect , and oh gush its so hard
Good luck! Let me know if you need any help!
I watched your video 100 times but I still don’t understand how u used gray. Please guide me I am about to paint my wall
Thank you for asking. How I created the gray lines is by using a feather brush to create the lines. Or you can use a small angle brush. When you paint the lines use the sponge right after to wipe off the lines a little bit so it can blend nicely in the white wall. It is up to you how subtle or contrasted you want the lines. I did a combination of subtle lines and then darker lines on top. Also, look at pictures of gray marble and look at the lines. You will see that the lines are very abstract and never straight but always curvy. I would suggest you practice on a small canvas so you can get comfortable doing this and experiment on what you like. Once you feel comfortable with the technique then paint on the wall. Good luck!
If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me.
Thanks a lot God bless u
Should of used flotrol to wipe the paint around better
Thanks for the suggestion!
Good info. but loose the loud weird music clips and face shots - show more of your work process. Back up and give perspective of whole wall and process. Sop moving camera so much.
Hi sister how are you it’s really wonderfull and amazing work.
I’m from Pakistan want to work with you and gain this talent in which country you from.
Is this renter friendly? Like can I paint it back to its original color when I move? Just curious ❤
wow...just wow...i didn't was not expecting that kind of a result
I'm a new subscriber. This is stunning! So beautiful that I immediately went to home depot to pick up a couple of blue paints, I actually have everything else on hand. I'm going to do this is my master bathroom right now. I'm so grateful and excited. I was having a hard time deciding what I wanted to do on the remodel of my house. As soon as I saw this I knew it would be perfect for this space. You're hugely talented and I hope you continue making videos. Thank you!
Awe thank you Carolyn for taking the time to watch the video and writing such a nice comment! It means the world to me. Have fun creating your marble masterpiece!
@@becacastel8978 I'm having a little trouble with getting the veining to look natural. Any suggestions? I've never painted anything art related before, only basic interior painting. Thanks again!
Hi Carolyn, I would suggest you practice on thick white paper. Like canvas paper, you can get at Micheals for $10. This way you can practice the lines until you get the look that you want. Always start the lines light. Like water down the paint a little bit and get the light gray and paint the lines as if the marble is "craking". The lines are never really straight they are kinda rounded lines that organically spread out. Hope this helps!
@@becacastel8978 Thank you so much for the reply! I bought some canvas yesterday actually. I'll get to work on it immediately. I'm so excited. I'll update you when I complete the project. I look forward to your future videos to come. Thank you again for sharing your talents with the world. We all love your work! ❤ 💜 ♥
@@carolynsuhor354 did you finish i want to do this
that looks like clouds not marble
Yeah it's definitely a unique type of marble look. This is what the client wanted and this is what she liked lol
I would have designed a blue box to cover the thermostat and made the background a little bigger to camouflage it.
I am planning to 'marble-ize' my old bathroom countertop. Not sure if the same general technique will work though, especially since its surface isn't completely smooth. I'll sand it before I start but do you have any other tips? Thanks!
Hi Anita! Thank you for asking. With countertops, you can use the same painting techniques to get the effect. However, the type of paints and clear varnish/sealer that you are going to use will probably be different. Especially with the varnish, you need it to be waterproof and heavy-duty for durability purposes. I would look up videos specifically for painting countertops so you know what would be the best paints and clear sealer for maximum durability.
video ok, even if it doesn't look like marble to me, the sound is obnoxious tho... why is th emusic so loud compared to your voice?
Thank you! I wanted to paint my white Switch joycons with some marble striping since oil from fingers show. All I ever see is pouring stuff; thanks again for showing the way I was looking for!
Glad I could help!
Nice tshirt. The walls…? Mehhh
This style is definitely an acquired taste.
I love blue colour and the combination is perfect.... I love it ❤️😍 keep it up.. there's a little issue with music but overall , Great!!!
Doesn’t look like any marble I’ve ever seen. More of a cartoon effect. Not my favorite.
You are very beautiful love from INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Very nice of you :) Glad you are enjoying my videos all the from India! :D
7:15 someone was in need of help...
😂
What type of paint do you normally use for these wall paintings?
Can u use lacquer as a substitute to the polyurethane thing,also adding the days it took u for the process in your videos will really help us better our scope of learning......your art style is always amazing,keep on keeping on and stay blessed.
Yes you can! It took my about 5 days (6hrs each day) to do this wall. The wall was about 8 ft tall and 20 ft wide.
It dont look like a marble look at all...BUT !!! I do love the art abstract look!!! Love it
Yeah it's definitely a unique type of marble look. This is what the client wanted and this is what she liked lol
Can we use Amsterdam acrylic though it's thicker?
Hi Natasha! I've never used Amsterdam Acrylic so I wouldn't be able to tell you if it will work or not. However, if the paint is thick you will just need to wet it more to dilute it. It can possibly work. Let me know if it does!
Your video popped up with my marble pour, so I had to check out your process. 🖌🙂
Wow very nice I like this work bcz it's my work
Thank you so much 😀
Wow your are a really talented girl I love it good job
Fun fact:my name means talent
Awe thank you!
Beca Castel your welcome
No it doesn't it means "visionary", you can have vision and zero talent. This video rests my case.
Could you use a roller to apply the clear gloss easier?
Truly Beautiful, Am blown away!!! Entirely flabbergasted at the final end result this is beyond insane wow
I appreciate the love!
Video is cool, but sound is way off, music is scary loud, then stops, then sound is so light turn it up..then heart attack level music for a microsecond..
I definitely need to change the music on this video.
Can this be done just using normal emulsion paint please
Hello,do u wait for base colour to dry before u add another layer,and judging by the big space how do u maneuver, e.g..do u do the base colour on the entire wall and continue on the next day with another layer?
Great question! The paint dries within 30 seconds, so you can do the layering pretty quickly. Since it is a big wall, I like to cover the whole wall one layer at a time. This helps keep the overall look of the mural consistent. Depending how fast you work, will depend how many layers you can do each day. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask me any other questions!
@@becacastel8978 thanks for the reply,there's another one,about the last layer,the polyuthrane thing u use,can I use something like wood varnish or lacquer as a substitute, because most of these products are sometimes not sold or even heard in most of the south African countries,im from Ghana by the way. One more thing, try letting us know as to how many days it takes u in terms of working on a big bigger project.eg.if it's a big project u r working on;show it or tell us in the video, u will add another layer the next day,something like that so that we will get a great grasp on what u r teaching us,I just love ur art style,stay blessed
Its not so stunning
This marble look is surely an acquired taste
Is there a reason why you do not start out with a high gloss paint?
Love this am going to try this on my black accent wall 😎 thanks for this step by step by step process
Ouhh I'm so curios to see how this would look on a black accent wall. DM on instagram: @beca_castel once you are done or if you have any questions.
Wow so beautiful 🤩
Thank you so much 😊
So beautiful! You have amazing talent and skill- and brave 😅😊
Thank you so much!
When you want to paint over the wall down the road, what kind of primer do you use to cover the glossy varathane?
Hi Pam, great question. I would use a good quality white flat paint that has a primer in it. For example if you have a Sherwin Williams store near you I would get the "Emerald Category" paint in a flat white paint & primer in one. That would be enough to cover it. If you try to cut corners and get a cheap white flat paint you will be spending more time and coats to cover it.
Get rid of this annoying music you have!
This is so awesome, damn Kudos to you girl. But my question is what if I don't want to use that vanish you used can I use resin instead and if I'm using that same vanish you used can I apply it with a paint roller instead of using a brush? Thanks.
Great question! Resin is a fabulous varnish. However, its best used when the surface is falt on the floor so the varnish can even out settle properly. If you are doing thus upright on the wall I'm afraid it will be too thick and run down creating streaks. That is why i chose this varnish instead. However, It does not mean you can't experiment with the resin and let me know it works out! You can use a roller to apply but make sure you get those specific roller for painting furniture. Also, get best quality one too. Please take your time applying the varnish. It's a beautiful affect but you need a lot of proper lighting and patience for it come out perfect!
The marble design work is very good
Nice job beca
Thanks so much!
I just finished my living room walls ..I'm a retired union painter but I see ur better than some of them ...again great videos
Can you explain me base colour white oil or water then more colors water or oil?
Hi Arman. I don't quite understand your question but I'll explain what type of paint I used. In this video I used acrylic LATEX paint for the base. This type of paint is basically your regular house paint. The base is latex not water. BUT for the added detail on top I used regular acrylic canvas paint that is water based. I DO NOT recommend paint with oil paints when doing these projects. It takes way too long to dry (several weeks) and smells terribly. I hope this answers your question!
You deserve MORE subscribers!! Thanks for this idea 💙
Awe your comment totally made my day :)
Hi Beca. this is very beautiful and I liked it. Great work by the way. I love painting and I have decided to get serious with the art so I wouldn't mind a tip on what tools would you recommend. And also, most times my challenge is knowing the kind of paint to buy. I am from Nigeria and I presume most of the paint I see used on TH-cam can't be found in Nigeria. But I also believe there are similar kinds of paint that can be accessed here. I would like to know whether the paints you used in this video were oil paints. Kindly guide me through the choices of paints to use. I have just subscribed to your TH-cam channel
Hi Okpe! Thank you so much for your comment. I would love to help you! The paints that I used in the video are mostly house paint and acrylic. To be honest, with you any basic acrylic paint works well. It's all about HOW you use the paint that is important. I would recommend the brand 'Arteza". You can buy it online on their website. They are very well priced and of great quality. Hopefully, they ship to Nigeria! I'm going to do a video about the art supplies that I use soon, so make sure to stay tuned! Hopefully, that will help. let me know if you have any other questions. :)
It looks like ink in water more than marble or stone, but very cool effect!
Thanks for the comment!
Could you please link the image you used as a reference
TH-cam does not let me put the pdf link of the image. I do show the image reference that i used to create this mural in the video. I would just pause the video when you see it and then take a screenshot of the design. That would be the easiest. Thanks for watching!
nice 🎉
Thanks 😊
In the starting I thought it wouldn’t be good....
But the final result is awesome... m impressed... great work..... 👌🏼
Thank you so much 😀
The Great Flower Wave
lol thank you! Its definitely an abstract type of piece but it worked out!
@@becacastel8978 it's beautiful 😍 you've done a great job! 👏👏
Hi! I live in Naples! Keep up your amazing art work! 💪🎨🧜♀️
Thank you, Leonel, for appreciating the art! :)
Very attractive my Lady, love what u doing😚😚😚😚😚😚🤥
wow its pretty nice work mam and good ideas 😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Hi
Hi Lorena, thank you for watching!
Cool
Thanks for watching!
Why is the volume going on and off
How long after painting white do you paint other colors?
Once the white wall is completely dry, that is when i start painting the other colors.
Nothing like marble.
Very bad sound editing...
Very bad video quality ...
👏👏
can we just use acrylic sealant if it's a smaller design?
pls reply
That is a good question. If you are creating this effect on a wall, then I highly recommend using the gloss that I used in the video. However, if you are doing this effect on a canvas then you can definitely use an acrylic sealant.
this doesn’t look right😂
