The Art of Marbling Book by Rene Eisenbart

I’m 71 years old and have been fully retired for the past 8 years. One of the great things about being retired is that you now have time to try out a few new hobbies, such as painting, scrapbooking, jewelry making, cardmaking, drawing, wreath making, sewing, embroidery, etc. When I worked a full-time job, I never had time for those things.

Four months ago I started dabbling into the world of artistic painting. I’m just a beginner and starting to get my feet wet. I had always thought that getting into this you had to be born with natural talent, not so in most cases. You can learn how to paint by taking classes or picking up a few great how-to books like the one that I’m featuring today.

Title: The Art of Paint Marbling
Author: Rene Eisenbart
Publisher: Walter Foster, Quarto Knows

The Art of Paint Marbling takes you through all the tools, techniques, and tips you need to create your own marbled artwork. Closely following the successful The Art of Paint Pouring and its follow-up, The Art of Paint Pouring: Swipe, Swirl & Spin, The Art of Paint Marbling features a similarly easy-to-follow format and appealing aesthetic. Paint marbling serves as a fun hobby for beginners, a new art form for more advanced artists looking for alternative techniques, and a family activity perfect for artists young and old. With The Art of Paint Marbling, you can learn to use paper, paint, and water to create your own on-trend artwork!

The book is broken down into easy-to-follow chapters that build on one learned skill to another. The introduction, Steps to Marbling, Freeform Patterns, Combed Patterns, Beyond the Basics, Clean-up & Source List, Marbling Terms, and you can learn all about the artist.

Techniques used inside the book are laid out in a way that even beginners like me can understand. All of the techniques include full step-by-step instructions and color photographs. The photography in this how-to book is stunning!
