Acrylic Paper Marbling Time-Lapse 7

When I started marbling I had trouble finding videos showing Western style paper marbling with combs, so I published mine, assuming other people familiar with marbling might be interested. These are not tutorial videos, but since so many people have asked, I’ll explain the process a little here: The bath is a mixture of carrageenan and water (2TBS/gallon). The paints are acrylic, thinned with water till they’re a milky consistency. (If done correctly the paints will float and spread on the surface of the bath rather than sink to the bottom.) Once enough paint has been added so that the surface of the bath is saturated the patterns are created by pulling combs of versions sizes through in different order or direction, depending on the pattern. The paper is pre-treated with a mixture of alum (1 cup desolved in a gallon of water) which works as a mordant so the paint will stick to the paper. The alum treated side of the paper is laid over the paint and lifts it off the bath when it is removed. Once the paper has dried it’s ready to use!

Maroo che figata!
How do you dry the paper? Hanging? Or flat on a surface
Aprendí mucho, muchas gracias!
Очень красиво
I think it’s wonderful the careful and deliberate and effortless way you work. Without any words one is able to learn a lot about the marbling process. Do you ever make any original pspers?
Hi Rachel, beautiful work - where did you get the tray from? Can you provide the dimensions?
Beautiful! where did you get your wooden tub?
Well done. Thank you.
Can't use fabric?
Is this technique only for paper?
No, it would work on anything that could be treated with alum. I’ve done it on pencils, hats, cloth…
Love this one. Can't quite make out the motion in the last carding. Time-lapse makes it look like two straight pulls but that doesn't make sense.

MAGNIFIQUE
Hi, i've read and heard about paint thinned with water 4:1, but most important, everyone place say you need liquid ox gall as paint humidifier or something like that. Is it true is essential? or can you not use it and have kinda the same result? thanks a lot, your marbling is beautiful and your video description really useful too
Some types of marbling use ox gall to thin the paint. I just use water. I don’t know the exact ratio, it depends on the color, different pigments need more or less water, depending on what’s in them.
Por favor explicar como se adhiere el color al papel!
The paper is treated with alum before it is laid onto the paint, this is what makes the paint stick to the paper.
Outstanding!
lindo ,maravilhoso!!!!!!
Thanks!
I actually prefer the dot pattern before you mixed it.
Hi.. I loved your art. And would like to try the same technique for myself. I tried doing that with normal water and oil paints but the paint effects never remains satable due to water. Do you use any thick solution for that? How come your colours are so stable and not moving? Would also like to know which type of colours do you use so that I can ask here in India for the same.
All the info on the marbling process are in the video description.
I'd love to know if you've ever tried this using India ink? I lucked upon some and would love to use it for marbling. Thank you. Your work is beautiful
Hi, just watched your video, and the result is great! What type of carrageenan do you use? And do you use normal water or deionised? Thanks
I just used the powdered carrageenan you can get for marbling, I don’t know what other kinds there are. And I just use tap water for the bath. Depends on where you are, city or well water doesn’t always work depending on what’s in it. But in those cases I just use distilled water. And I mix the paints with distilled water, they bad quicker with tap water.
Beautiful! The setup is so nice, makes the process seem easy, although for sure it’s not! Thank you for sharing and making the video calm, without background music.
Gracias
What kind of fluid is in this frame, what is the purpose of the strip of paper that you ran across top of it, what kind of paint are you using
All the information about the process and materials is in the title and the description. The strips of paper are to clean the surface of the bath between uses.
this is so awesome. I actually love that you are not babbling through the whole process.
what type of paper do you use for this
I really like a paper called texoprint. It’s the easiest to marble with. It’s thin but also very strong so it’s easy to work with when it’s wet. But I use a lot of ingres paper as well.
@@rachelcampbell6147 thanks alot
I love this...oh gosh i think id love to learn this!..thx...great vid!!
did you use the usual acrylic paint , the paste ? i thought that in water dipping you use only spray paint
Loved it.
This is awesome.
I wish there had been some explanation of what you were doing. I'm mystified by the thin strips of paper you used. Maybe this was intended for experienced artists.
The intention behind my videos is stated in the description, along with an explanation of the process. The strips of paper are merely to clean the bath of any paint left over from a previous design prior to starting a new one.
@@rachelcampbell6147 My bad.
Hello you have Contact whit spain?
how amazing !~
Hello Rachel, thank you for sharing your talent. Can you let me know how to make your tray and wash board.
I didn’t make mine. I think I got it from Talas, but if you search online you can find places that sell them.
@@rachelcampbell6147 Thanks Rachel.
Absolutely stunning! I loved watching your process
Just amazing. I can see that you could have laid the paper in the bath a number of times during the process to produce different designs, but each step added more & more detail to the final design. Oo-rah
Why don't the colors run when you rinse the page at the end?
Because the paper has been pretreated with alum which acts as a mordant. See the description for more detail about the process.
This is the very best example of marbling being done in such a way that I could possibly tackle. And that last part where you parked the leaning board and flushed the paper with water which ran into a bucket below was just genius! Thank you for posting this video :-)
Lovely technique. May I know what is the ratio for carragean and water?
The details of my process are in the description.
@@rachelcampbell6147 thanks
Are you using a carrageenan or methyl cellulose size, and what is the ratio/measurements for making your size? It looks very stable. Well done ❤️
Please read the video description, all the information is already there.
I LOVED UR VIDEO, DO U HAVE ANY VIDS ABOUT UR SET UP, WHERE U BOUGHT OR HOW U MADE UR TOOLS. I WISH I COULD SEE UR DRAINAGE THING U HAVE GOING BACK THERE BUT I LUVD IT - THANK U
I am seeking permission to play your video at the Victorian Bookbinders Guild online meeting next Tuesday 23rd February 2021. This meeting has been a traditional Marbling meeting when members have had the opportunity of making marbled paper as you demonstrate in this video. I realise that it is a short timeframe and would be most grateful for your permission. Full attribution would be given. Thank you. Tim Morrow
Sure, go right ahead! Thanks for asking. 🙂
@@rachelcampbell6147 Thank you very much Tim Morrow
Hello Rachel. Members were most appreciative of your video and wish to thank you for the permission.
Thanks for the videos! What kind of acrylic paint do you use? Also, do you have any tips about what to look for in paper? I recently tried paper marbling for the first time use a Jacquard kit and had so much fun, I'd really like to do it again with a better color selection. I tried mixing my own colors using a few different kinds of acrylic paint I had around the house but I couldn't get them to work so I want to go into my next trial with more knowledge.
Yeah, a lot of acrylic paint does not work well, they spread too much, push other colors out of the way and look really washed out. I use Utrecht Artist Acrylics (not the fluid ones), most of them work great (except for red, haven’t found a good red yet) But it takes a little trial and error sometimes. A good rule of thumb is to avoid any of those long, hard to read, synthetic pigments. And really any paper will work. If it’s really thick it’s hard to lay on the bath, though. I love texoprint paper for marbling! It’s very strong but thin and doesn’t stretch or curl much when wet so it is really easy to work with. But I use just regular copy paper if I’m experimenting. I choose the paper based on what I want to use the end product for.
Do we dilute carrageen in little hot water before pouring it into the tray of cold water, or we just mix it directly into the tray of cold water... thanks ur art is pretty .it has inspired me
The carrageenan needs to be mixed thoroughly with the water with a blender (3TBS/gallon of water) I just use room temperature water from the tap, depending on the quality of the water where you are you might have to use distilled water, it’s really a matter of trial and error till you get all the pieces working together just right. After mixing the carrageenan and water you have to let it sit till all the bubbles are gone, this also gives the mixture a chance to become nice and homogeneous. This takes several hours, I usually mix up a bath the evening before I want to marble so it can sit overnight. And then I use the bath for a couple days or until it gets thick. Water or fresh carrageenan can be added through the day to keep it fresh as well. I usually mix a gallon or so extra to have on hand as I marble to keep the bath full and moving correctly.
Thank u so much for your answers
After pre treating paper with alum ,is it dried before placing it on painting in bath. How do we put alum ? Do we spread the alum mixture with a brush Can we use gelatine in place of carrageenan.
I use a spray bottle to spray the alum on to the paper and then use a sea sponge to make sure it’s spread over the whole surface. I wouldn’t use a brush, it would be harder to get an even coating without having to use way more than you’d need. The sponge works great. And yes, the paper definitely has to be completely dry after alum before you use it! People use various things to make the bath. Carrageenan is traditional and very easy to use, so I haven’t tried anything else. Really, anything would work so long as whatever paint your using will float and spread over the surface of the bath.
Could you do some more real time versions of these? I love seeing the process ! X
Thank you so much, this is very inspiring, I saw a Japanese art of water painting that was similar and I'm really interested in doing this myself!
So beautiful and I love the time lapse but just a tad slower would have been great.
