Black and Gold Marble Effect Painting Technique

The marble paint effect is an ancient painting technique, yet even today provides an affordable alternative to buying real marble. Real marble countertops, flooring and other decor is very expensive and heavy so you have to consider whether the material is suitable for rooms above the ground floor. A practical alternative is hand-painted marble, and the black and gold marble effect is a stylish, modern alternative to grey marble. Learning this technique gives you complete control over the colour and intensity, and if it gets marked or damaged you can easily touch-in and repair the paint work.

Been looking at a lot of different techniques for painting a marble texture and so far yours is the most realistic one I've found, obviously more work than most others but apparently that is what it takes to get an authentic looking marble, great job!

This is amazing! The layers really build up to authentic looking marble.

a verbal step by step as you went would have been good

[franklesser]

At each step I say, "Nooo, it looks good as it is..." but then think, "Oh, yeh, that makes it even more realistic."

I take that this is acrylic and not oil based ? No sealing between layers ?

Привет ! Твое имя Саймон? Как мне посмотреть твои мастер классы? Буду весьма признателен тебе. У тебя великолепная техника. Я тоже декоратор но использую гуашь. Спасибо заранее за ответ.😊

Is that glue or just white paint you're layering with

Great video and very nice looking piece. Those softening brushes are expensive, but appear to be absolutely important and needed to soften as you go. Since expensive, do you clean it as you go or after the project is complete or do you have more than one and clean one as you go then help the other one dry with perhaps a hair dryer? Or maybe they are so soft and you brush so lightly that they do not pick up the paint and can be cleaned once the project is complete. Just wondering?
