Marbling Techniques With Acrylic Paint

I think using regular craft acrylic paint is just fine for most marbling projects.

Marbling techniques with acrylic paint.

The marbling process involves floating acrylic paint on top of a base of thickened water swirling and moving the paint into unique patterns then dipping in a piece of wood that will be stained with the pattern. The folkart marbling paint doesn t have to be mixed with any chemicals. Most of the faux marbling techniques start with acrylic paint and you add one or more chemicals to the paint. The marbled paint technique i used for this project is super easy because of the paint.

This technique is messy so i use scrap cardboard to cover my table. Then mix your paint in disposable cups. However if you really are looking for a marbling paint i have heard good things about this bo kuundo marbling paper origami marbling kit. If you are looking to do acrylic paint pouring this folkart marbling paint pour set is a favorite.
