The art or practice of variegating in color, in imitation of marble.
Distinct markings resembling the variegations of marble, as on birds and insects.
Reproductions, imitations or simulations of realistic, infinitely varied grain and appearance of natural marble, rock limestone and other decorative stone (with the exception of granite). These are created with special colors of paint, colored stain or scumble glaze and specialized tools including artist's, softening, marbling brushes, feathers, other bristle brushes, and combs. This effect seldom replicates very specific stones, instead are representations of the many varieties of marble. The layered look of the natural marble is comes from the repeated cycles of heating and cooling under pressures of nature. The veins generally run somewhat parallel although some diamond effects are common. Marbling is normally at least three coats. The base coat(s) sets the foundation. The next coat(s) generally implies the texture, and then the veins are added in a semi-transparent or opaque coat, darker than the base coat. The edges are then often feathered and softened. The topcoat(s) are generally clear, pigment-free coat(s) to protect the artistic effect.
Colouring or marking that simulates marble.
The decoration of the edges or end-papers by transferring a marble pattern floated on a gum solution.
The idea is that you float fabric paints on the surface of a thick liquid that you prepare (called "Size"), kind of like oil on water. The floating paints can be swirled and mixed into patterns. When you lay a treated shirt, piece of fabric or paper down on top of the paint, the paint adheres to the fabric exactly where it touches. The swirl patterns of colored paint are transferred to the shirt or fabric. Each design is unique and can never be repeated. As a technique, it's both easy and hard. It's easy to do and great safe fun for kids. It's hard in that the more you do the better results you will get and the difference between your early designs and your later designs will be very noticeable.
Decorative painting used to simulate marble. Also called faux marbre or marbleizing.
The pattern on food that looks like marble. It has a streaked pattern.
A decorative paint technique used to create the look of real marble.
A decorative technique in which a vessel covered with bands of wet slip is sharply twisted, causing the slip to run across the piece and form abstract patterns.
A monoprint design technique reminiscent of marble stone. Patterns are created by suspending dye or ink pigments on a liquid surface, manipulating the pigments with a tool such as a comb, then gently laying paper on the liquid surface, transferring the pattern to the paper.
painting a surface to give a veined or mottled appearance such as real marble.
Addition of strongly stained fibres to the stock to give the paper a marbled appearance
A mottling of the eye color.
A process of decorating paper, in which the result resembles the veins of stone marble.
natural color variations (usually light brown streaks) frequently found in ebony; some manufacturers stain or paint ebony black to mask these striations, but Taylor considers marbling a natural and desirable characteristic of this dark wood, so we don't artificially color it.
A decorative painting technique that imitates the colour and figure of marble.
An effect created after combining oil-based paint and water.
A coloring process where numerous colors of paint or ink are streaked together to look like marble.
(Faux Finishes) is the imitation of the natural product of marble often called faux marble.
Paper with strongly stained fibres to give the paper a marble effect.
A process of decorating paper which then looks like the veins of stone marble.
a decorative technique of making patterns on paper.
Process of painting wood to simulate the color and markings of marble.
