Marbling Art Technique
The works you have seen in the videos below and above are the works of Ebru. While Ebru artist prepares his works, he first mixes the so-called “tragacanth” and the water and transfers it to the liquid reservoir called “destenzeng”. It then mixes its paint with oil and water and sprayes it to make patterns on the liquid in the destenzeng. Special marbling paper is placed on these patterns of paints floating on the water and slowly removed again. Marbling paper is left to dry when the patterns pass on the paper.
