This was clear information. As a marbler you never 'got' it. You was verry clear about thé balancing colours and different tension.

Teacher, I need to take classes professionally. I have already taken courses and they do not teach properly. A lot of money is spent without correct results, it seems more like children's courses, although I have corrected a lot, I know that it is not the right thing to do. Thank you very much for answering. Neuquen Patagonia Argentina.

Finally I found out why my colours always turned out somewhat pale, I followed your advice of diluting a paint and adding more ox gall and it worked! I used to add white paint (not diluted) or water with ox gall to increase surface tension, but didn’t get convincing results. I’m using paints from the brand Karin with a paste like consistency, I will experiment with the regular stirring that you mentioned. Do you think that it would also work, if I put the paints in a bottle and shake them regularly, instead of stirring? Thank you very much for sharing your precious knowledge. Your artworks are truly beautiful and unique.

This was exceptionally informative. Having been in yours studio and made a cuppa right by your “paints in process” I had no idea so much effort went into the preparation. I just thought you kept a messy sink 😂

Thank you! I bought a kit in Turkey and I’m having so much trouble getting the colors to run or not run. Do the paints need to be stored in the fridge? It’s about 100 degrees here.
