Day1 1
Day
Marbling basics: preparing your paper and using the tools to create a variety of patterns, both
simple and intricate. Make exciting one-of-a-kind papers for collage, book making or stationery.
Marble sheets of blank watercolor paper with patterns that leave areas of paper showing. Try
marbling cloth, a silk tie or hard object.
Day
Day2 2
Bring paintings — anything you think could be enhanced by marbling. You’ll choose a color
palette and how much of your painting to obscure. Overpaint your marbled paper with
watercolor technique. René will work with you to consider composition and color, as you tie
together your underpainting and marbled layer with a top layer of paint. Start a painting on a
marbled sheet of watercolor paper or continue creating marbled paper for future work. Or marble
on cloth or a necktie.

Marbling is a single
print process, created
by manipulating
paint that is floated
on the surface of a
thickened water
solution. The floating
paint is then
transferred from the
water onto paper,
fabric or other
surface.
