Acrylic Marbling

I am a HUGE fan of all things "Marbling"... marbling with food color and shaving cream, marbling with nail polish...etc. etc. etc. so when I saw marbling with acrylic paint - I of course had to give it a try.😊 Here are the results: 





It was so very simple - anyone, big or small, artistic or not, could certainly pull this one off. It may be just what you need to add a splash of color to that dark corner in your home, or maybe you're looking for a fun, messy, memorable craft to do over the holidays... this may be just the thing to do!

A few points of advice -

*watch for clumps coming out of the bottle when you squirt on the paint, and remove them before you smear... If you don't, they won't smear right and they'll look gross when they dry in my opinion anyway.😉

*Put the canvas up on something before it dries so that it won't dry to the wax paper or whatever you use to cover your work area. I used a few jar lids.

The acrylic paint will crack when it dries. It may not if you mix it with a little water before you pour it on, but I'm not sure of that.

Paint colors I used were as follows:
Paints I used: Cranberry Wine Metallic Berry Violet Snow White Metallic Zinc Fuchsia Black

Happy Painting!!
