    • A must-have book about how to marble--for beginner or experts!
Format: Paperback
Artist Rene Eisenbart is renowned for her beautifully marbled paintings and her fun-filled workshops on marbling with acrylic paints. In her newly-published book “The Art of Paint Marbling”, Rene brings her marbling expertise and knowledge to a worldwide audience. This 128-page book is a must-have for artists who want to learn how to marble or wish to enhance and increase their marbling skills. Rene’s book takes you all the way through the marbling process from setup to clean up and she provides a handy list of marbling terms as well as a resource list for where to buy marbling paints and supplies. Rene has organized the book into easy to read chapters, starting with the essential prep and setup needed to begin marbling, and she includes clear instructions and color photographs depicting all the basic marbling patterns that can be created with special rakes and combs. A section called “Beyond the Basics” takes you deeper into some of the intricate patterns and techniques that marbling offers—including Rene’s specialty of marbling over an existing watercolor painting. There are countless tips on how to troubleshoot, and as you read the book, it is clear that Rene has put her time and energy into understanding the chemistry of pigments and how they react in the marbling tray. This knowledge is key to creating expertly marbled papers. The book’s section on color pigments goes above and beyond traditional marbling books. Most marbling books mention the color wheel, but Rene goes further as she explains which pigments float, or sink, and how to achieve the best results when marbling with a variety of recommended paints. Rene’s attention to pigment properties is a veritable recipe book for creating groups of harmonious colors. Last but not least, Rene includes a troubleshooting section complete with photos of irregularities that frequently occur during the marbling process. Rene demystifies these problems and provides clear solutions for avoiding common mishaps as you explore this exacting, but highly rewarding art form. Rene’s book captures all of the magical unpredictability of marbling and illustrates how marbling has elevated her paintings to heights she never imagined. Reading this book may inspire you to follow Rene’s advice to “put on your old clothes and let the paint fly!” ... show more

    • An important book for the art of paint marbling
Format: Paperback
Many decades ago we marbled paper using wallpaper base, but the art of paint marbling that René Eisenbart presents in her book "The Art of Paint Marbling. Tips, techniques, and step-by-step instructions for creating colorful marbled art on paper" which was published by Quarto Publishing Group – Walter Foster is so much more. She states about it "The thrill of marbling is in the discovery and sometimes unpredictability of the process. Explore a few approaches to discover what you like, and you’ll soon amaze yourself with the gorgeous marbled paintings that you’ve created. Once you are set up and have learned the steps, the process is easy with immediate results—almost like magic. Be forewarned that marbling is seductive and can even be addictive! When you see what is possible, you’ll want to do it again and again, each time trying some new variation (p.4)". The book starts with "The Five Steps to Marbling", presents free and combed patters, but also goes beyond the basics (e.g., Tiger Eye, Lace, or Marbled Collage), but Eisenbart also touches the topics of the cleanup after the work is done and gives details for troubleshooting. Furthermore she includes a source list and a list with marbling terms. The book is presented with a great design and especially the beginning artists will appreciate the detailed step-by-step instructions. I highly recommend the book to all those artists who are interesting in the art of marbling, may they be beginners or have already some knowledge about the art. The complimentary copy of this book was provided by the publisher through NetGalley free of charge. I was under no obligation to offer a positive review. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. #TheArtOfPaintMarbling #NetGalley ... show more

    • Good for beginners, in some ways | The Art of Paint Marbling
Format: Paperback
This is an excellent book on paint marbling for beginners that does a great job of describing in detail how to achieve (in large or small scale) intricate and fantastically colored marbling techniques. I was hoping that there would be a good amount of info on fluid painting/pour painting as a marbling technique since this is included right on the cover, but not much of this information is included in this book so do be aware of that from the beginning. I work with a wide variety of paint mediums and techniques and one of the things I dislike about this book is that it basically says you need carageenan and alum to marble the paints, but there are a lot of other products that can be used to achieve this technique and the author neither shows those options nor covers those techniques at all, so this is still a limited book of techniques in that scope. I do think this is an awesome book for any artist and a great way to practice and learn a new technique! Missing a little bit of info for me but for some/many beginners of specifically paint marbling, I think it will cover a lot of ground for you. Recommended. ... show more

    • Sounds difficult, but the author does a good job of explaining what to do
Format: Paperback
This book is an acrylic paint art instruction book. I had thought paint marbling was relatively simple. The author made it sound like there were a number of challenging aspects and skills that took some practice before you got good results. You also need specialized ingredients and specific paints in order to get the correct buoyancy in the thickened water. If you're ready to buy a completely new set up to try it out, this book seems to thoroughly cover paint marbling. She talked about the equipment, materials, and ingredients you'll need, the basic steps, and step-by-step demonstrations on how to do different techniques to get different marbled effects. She started with the easiest techniques and then built on those to create more elaborate designs. She also talked about troubleshooting problems and how to fix them as well as how to use abstract marbling with multimedia art (watercolor, collage, etc.) I'd recommend this book to anyone seriously interested in trying out paint marbling. I received an ebook review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. ... show more

    • Beginner's handbook for great results
Format: Paperback
The Year of the Pandemic - aka The Rise of Arts and Crafts! Paint pouring was one new idea I tried out while stuck inside, and I found out I really enjoyed it. Some things I tried work, some didn't (well, most didn't), and this book showed up on Amazon at the perfect time when I was about to give up due to the major misfires my projects usually turned in to. Even though failure is part of creativity, this book allowed me to actually create some lovely works versus what my darling husband asked "did the dog sneeze on that?" I love knowing now how to properly create the effect I am looking for without wasting time or supplies on try after try. If you love this book, I highly recommend buying the other two books in the series - "The Art of Paint Pouring: Tips, techniques, and step-by-step instructions for creating colorful poured art in acrylic (Fluid Art Series)" and "The Art of Paint Pouring: Swipe, Swirl & Spin: 50+ tips, techniques, and step-by-step exercises for creating colorful fluid art (Fluid Art Series)", both by Amanda VanEver. ... show more
