Marbling Paints for Western Marbling Art
For more information please see our wonderful 2 page "Beginner Guide to Marbling" which can be downloaded from this page or from the Technical page of this website.
Perfect for the marbling of paper, most fabrics and other porous surfaces.
If you are a Marbler you will know the importance of using good quality acrylics that give repeatable spread results and that are compatible with each other with similar push and spread properties on the marbling gel.
These acrylic paints have been optimised for marbling. Usually you will not need to add Spreading Agent to our paints and you should dilute as follows: 2 parts water to 1 part paint (e.g. add 10ml water to 5ml paint). For smaller marbling baths you can dilute with 1 part water to 1 part paint.
Only add Spreading Agent to the paint if you specifically require more spreading on the marbling bath surface (usually only if the paint tends to sink). If using paints that are not made by us then you may well need to add our Spreading Agent to increase their spread and prevent them from sinking.
We developed our paints for marbling in partnership with Larissa Don, one of the world's leading Marblers. She tested and we adjusted the formulations until she was happy and also supplies our paints to her customers. Larissa also uses and supplies the same Marbling Gel Powder and Marbling Fixative Powder that we supply. If you need professional marbled apparel contact Larissa at: Larissadon@gmail.com or send her a What's App: +27 73 638 6251."
Our Permanent Metallic Paints and Permanent Bright Neon UV Paints can also be used in marbling art.

About the pigments that we use in this paint range
Artists love to know what pigments are used in their paints. They generally research their pigments and know which are lightfast and which are not. They also know pigment colours and how they behave when mixed with other colours. Some of our Marbling Paints are pure pigment paints while others are manufactured with pigment blends. We have selected only lightfast pigments that are suitable for exterior applications so that you don't have to worry about fading. A PDF called "Pigment Table" can be downloaded from this web page and it details the pigments we use in every colour. Simply by Googling the Colour Index number you will be able to read about each of the pigments we use.
- Cadmium based pigments are well known in many bright art paint colours including reds and yellows. We don't use any cadmium based pigments but our bismuth vanadate and diketo-pyrrolo pyrrole red and orange pigments are excellent, far more environmentally friendly substitutes.
- All our oxide colours are earthy. Some paint manufactures call the Red Oxide colour Venetian Red and the Yellow Oxide colour Yellow Ochre. Chrome Green Oxide is an earthy green and an extremely natural colour well suited to African landscape scenes.
- Dioxazine Deep Violet is a deep, powerful violet colour.
- In some colours we have blended pigments together with titanium dioxide to give the paints good opacity.
