Marbling Magic - An Introduction to the Art of Marbling

Marbling acrylic onto paper or cloth to create beautiful patterns is an art form with a rich history. After learning the basic steps, even an absolute beginner can create impressive works. Watch to see this transformative and very contemporary marbling process, developed by Rene Eisenbart.

........

Rene Eisenbart is a multimedia artist from Portland Oregon. She teaches botanical watercolor using both traditional and expressive methods of painting. She combines acrylic with traditional transparent techniques, using mediums under the painting or layers of marbling on top.

Rene also leads painting workshops in Tuscany, France, Hawaii, and Croatia.
