    • A must-have book about how to marble--for beginner or experts!
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
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
