PAPER MARBLING
Paper marbling, also known by its Turkish name ebru or by its Japanese equivalent suminagashi (墨流し), is a technique of aqueous surface design. Marbled paper dates back to at least the 12th century AD and has traditionally been used for book binding and other decorative purposes. By dropping paint on the surface of water or a thickened fluid called size, and by manipulating that paint, all kinds of wonderful patterns can be created. The designs are directly transferred from the size onto paper.
I discovered paper marbling in 2016 through a short 1970's documentary called The Art of the Marbler.
Since 2018 I have been incorporating marbled designs in my artwork.
You can view some of my marbled designs below.
The originals of these works are for sale for €7.50 each. They are on A4 size paper.
I also offer some of these as postcards and as posters in sizes up to A3+ (32,9 x 48,3 cm). Postcards: €2.50 each. If you are interested, please visit my shop.
