- Star takes you through the fascinating steps of applying the paints to the water’s surface, and using various tools to create swirling designs. The final design is then instantly transferred like magic to a 100% silk scarf.
So many endless design possibilities. Love this technique for getting beautiful patterns onto silk.
Every design is unique and fun to watch!

Awwww!! Thank you, Esther! Your comment makes me smile all over. What is so amazing to me is that anyone can do this with the right set-up and a bit of guidance. Every day, I get to re-live this “dance on water” experience as I help others discover the joy and wonder of water marbling. I am so glad you have discovered it, too, and I hope one of these days we’ll be able to paint together in person, or virtually.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for your compliment. Marbling is so much fun, but it can also be capricious. Doing the designs is the easy part - the real skill is in getting all the elements right before you ever start painting.

@@mayusilkartllc6738
Thank you so much.
@@judichristopher4604 You’re welcome!
I really like the final design, but I would have preferred to have stopped after the last multi-nail sweep. I’m an Artist as well (although non-practicing due to autoimmune diseases that have caused my motor skills to have diminished), and generally have a balance preference. With that said, I love how free you can be with this medium and we all have our preferences. The final result was beautiful and certainly unique!
So glad you enjoyed it. Painting on water allows for a lot of freedom - it provides a never-ending source of fascination and wonder for artists and non-artists alike. One of the best aspects of this art is being able to decide when to stop, and when to keep going - or to change direction altogether, knowing that any choice will be a good one.
Amazing
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Follow my channel to see more videos coming soon!
Where are you located? I would like to come visit. Can I sign up for classes.
That's beautiful ❤️ just a question . Why doesn't the paint flow downwards or mix as you are holding up the fabric to show us. Also how don't they mix when one drops the fabric into the washing vessel afterwards?
Gorgeous thankyou
Hi Zoe. You are very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Wonderful
Question- did you add anything to the water before adding the paint? Thank you and Awesome video!
Answer: Yes. You’re welcome and thank you!!!!
Oh… what went into the water? A pinch of pixy dust…
Okay, in this video, we added a bit of seaweed powder. But marblers use a variety of substrates and methods based on what is available in their region, and to achieve the desired effect. For those who are interested in learning our proprietary recipes and processes, we do offer a series of online, remote, and in-person classes. Please go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy to learn more.
WOW very beautiful thanks you
You’re very welcome!
Gorgeous--thank you so much for the tutorial! Do you have to begin with white/ivory silk? I was wondering how the colors would react on an already colored fabric. Thanks again!
The process works on colored fabric, but the colors will definitely be affected. For example, if you are working on red silk, yellow paint might create an Orange effect, while blue paint might result in purple. Red, magenta, and pinks will yield deeper, richer shades because of the red behind them, while might look like a light pink.
Pls tell about colours what can we use it is beautiful
Hello! Please forgive me for the delay in responding. We have a very busy presence elsewhere on the internet, and I don’t get to spend much time in the CZcams space; it is easy to lose track of comments. The hand-painted 100% silk scarf in this demonstration would normally retail in stores for about $55 USD, but if it is purchased directly from us it would be just $25. These days, savvy marblers are learning to navigate the troubled waters of supply chain delays and shortages, and getting creative in trying new types of fabrics and other materials. Here at Mayu Silk Art, we are best known for our silks, but we also work on cotton, bamboo rayon, polyester, wood, ceramic, terra cotta, seashell, leather, paper, paper-mache, and more. Likewise, marbling artists may utilize a variety of mediums to thicken the water and processes will vary based on their needs (factors may include climate/weather, availability, country of origin, price, environmental concerns, and specific technique and desired outcome). In this demonstration, Star is using powdered seaweed to thicken the water slightly, and acrylic paint that she has mixed herself from a variety of brands and types. If you are seriously interested in learning the whole process, please consider our extraordinary training program, The Art of Water Marbling as a Business, which is available in-person at our studio in Huntington Beach, or online in a learn-at-your-own-pace format. She has students in 29 countries on 6 different continents (still waiting for someone from Antarctica to join us!). To learn more, please go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy.
I love this video, you do great work. I can't wait to try it. Can you tell me if you put any thing else in the water before the paints. Is it just paint and water and can I use just regular acrylic craft paints thinned out?
Hi Diana, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! Although sometimes we do use acrylics on plain water (for the Japanese marbling technique known as Suminigashi), in this particular video Star is working on a colloidal gel that she prepared herself from organic materials. Some folks use synthetic products such as Methylcellulose. Historically, practitioners have used everything from seaweed or tragacanth gum to wallpaper paste or shaving foam! Suminigashi is fascinating and fun, and should work with regular acrylic paint applied to the water in tiny amounts on the end of a paintbrush or toothpick, but the effect is too watery to achieve the very detailed patterns created by the the rakes and tools. If you are interested in learning the art of water marbling, I suggest that you check out our virtual scarf-painting experience (or, if you are able, simply book an appointment to come to our studio in Huntington Beach, California and paint with us in person! Www.mayusilkart.com/visit
Amazing.....
Can u plz guide which colors we can drop on water surface? 2nd, do we need to add any medium to color ?
You didnt mention what you used in the water. I have seen artists using Carrageen with paper marbleing.
Hi David - carrageenan is a traditional favorite of many marblers (on paper and otherwise), but often their choice depends more on locally available products such as tragacanth gum, wallpaper paste, methylcellulose… even shaving foam! We teach our method and discuss the pros and cons of other possibilities in our online course, The Art of Water Marbling as a Business. You can learn more at mayusilkart.com/academy.
Fabulous!! I just watched this last night here. I have just started painting on fabric. I have no training or clue but I got me som Silk and Fabric Colours. I did manage to produce something worth keeping 😉 I loved watching this. I would like to try and I know I won’t get any materials here. So, some questions to clarify myself. The water tray, what is it made of? And the colours botter, what are they called? They seemed oil based? 😊🙏🙏
Thanks for your interest in Mayu Silk Art. I love hearing your enthusiasm for this beautiful art. The tray used in this video is made of wood (we sell our top quality custom built marbling trays and tools on our website - see links below). Although we do use a variety of paint types and materials, in this particular video, the artist (our co-founder, Star) is using professional grade acrylic paint, which has been carefully prepared for marbling in our studio. We don’t sell our paints, but we do teach our full process through our amazing online business courses (one of which does include a full kit which with a tray and tools just like the ones you see used here, plus all the materials and paints needed for the 24-hour program which is conducted via live video conferencing.
Wow! That’s beautiful! What kind of paint did you use? Thanks for the video!
Hi Carey - forgive the delay in responding to your question. I don’t hop on CZcams very often. Marblers use a variety of paints and inks; in this particular demonstration, Star is using high quality water-based acrylic paint that she mixed herself.
Good morning
your video is superb.
I would like to know what materials do you use?
Is the water filtered water?
Is the paint special?
Can you do this technique on other fabrics, such as cotton, tshirt material etc. it’s beautiful
Yes you can! The art is suitable for most types of silk, and finely woven cotton, as well as polyester, bamboo rayon, leather, paper, wood, ceramics and more!
What do you do with it after it has stopped dripping, ? Do you set with something if so what please loved the demo thanks👍
Hi Albert. The design is permanently affixed as soon as the silk (or other material) is dipped into the paint. Most items are then rinsed in tap water to remove any excess paint. For silk, we hang dry, then iron. The ironing sets the color so it won’t fade in the sun. Most items are hand washable after ironing.
👌👌
That's amazing piece of art. I wish I will try in future. By the way what kind of colors you are using for this work
Thanks for your comment. I think everyone should experience the wonderful sensation of painting on water! We do offer in person, remote, and online classes for those who would like to learn the full process (it’s surprisingly complex!). At Mayu Silk Art, we use a variety of paints and inks depending on the desired effect and the material to which the design will be transferred. In this video, I’m using high quality acrylic paint which I have diluted to the proper consistency.
Your demo was great. But what kind of ink do you use? Craig in San Francisco
Beautiful. I am a beginner, but what kind of paint are you using and do have something in the water?
I recently discovered this at a Girls Weekend away in Canada and I found it amazingly beautiful.....How much would you charge for that Scarf? Where to buy the Material - the Tray Etc. Looking forward to watching your videos Pam
Hi Pam! Thanks for your interest - your enthusiasm for this beautiful art sounds so familiar to me - I am filled with a sense of wonder every time I see a new design come to life on the water! A bit of warning - this art can be addictive (in a good way)!!!
That said, the videos - and even the paint-your-own experience for which we are so well known - make it seem simple, but the art is surprisingly complex. Many would-be marblers find themselves lost for answers and frustrated when it doesn’t work for them.
For this reason, we started the Mayu Silk Art Academy, offering online and in-person training particularly geared for folks who are interested in starting a marbling business or home studio of their own. It’s not a franchise opportunity; our students are free to build their own businesses their own way, utilizing the insider knowledge and best practices they learned from us to help launch their marbling adventures with a good foundation and understanding of the art and science of water marbling. In fact, the folks you met in Canada may very well have been some of our program participants - we have alumni in over 25 countries on six continents!
I encourage you to check out our website at www.mayusilkart.com to learn more about us and the products and services we offer. And of course, there are lots more videos to come here on our CZcams channel and social media pages. We are glad to have you on board!
Cheers,
- Star
P.S. a silk scarf this size (hand painted by the customer or by me or another Mayu Silk Art team member) usually retails on our website or display rack for $25 to $30 USD.
Fascinating thxs for sharing.
What paint did you use please?
I’m sorry - I somehow missed seeing your question. We use water-based acrylic paints that we adjust as needed to achieve the desired viscosity.
That looks very good. What product do you put in the water to make the paint flow?
Marblers use a variety of techniques and materials in creating their amazing designs. If you would like more information about the process Star used in this particular video, you can contact her directly at info@mayusilkart.com. She enjoys “talking shop” with other marblers and learners and will be happy to address any questions or ideas you may have to share.
Pena que é outra língua....very beautiful
Star Greenwood demonstrates the art of contemporary water marbling on silk, using acrylic paint. This demonstration was produced for release during the COVID-19 pandemic on the Instagram page of All Things Orange County.. The captions you see are auto generated by CZcams; any translation errors are out of our control. The studio is called Mayu Silk Art. This art form utilizes elements of Ebru, Suminigashi, hydro dipping, and water marbling.
Please accept our apologies for the background noise. Our camera man (ie, son), didn’t realize the microphone would pick up the motion of the tripod.
Allso - please note. Since the posting of this video, Star has changed her name. She is now Star Greenwood.
That's beautiful. I thought you would have to use special silk or fabric paints/dyes.
Will your acrylic paints fix to the silk long term and will they still let the silk feel soft after it's washed and dried?
@@orlamdc Yes, the paint is transferred instantly and permanently to the silk. We rinse the painted silk in water to remove any paint that didn’t find fabric to stick to, then hang dry, and iron. Once the scarf has been ironed, the color is non-fading and long-lasting. The paint is applied as a very thin layer, so there is no buildup and it essentially becomes part of the fabric. The more you wear it, the softer it gets, but you can speed up that process by soaking the wet scarf in fabric softener and water for an hour or longer before hanging the silk up to dry.
Me encantó. Quisiera saber que marca de pinturas son y donde las compro en España.
¡Me alegra que hayas disfrutado de mi trabajo! En Mayu Silk Art, utilizamos principalmente pintura acrílica de alta calidad (como se muestra en este video). Vivenc Piera en Barcelona es una buena fuente de las mejores marcas de pintura. www.vpiera.com
El arte del marmoleado con agua es sorprendentemente complejo: es mucho más que simplemente poner pintura en el agua y girarla. Para lograr buenos resultados consistentemente, los artistas deben tener un buen conocimiento de la ciencia y la técnica involucradas.
Por esta razón, ofrecemos capacitación integral para personas que estén interesadas en comenzar un negocio de marmoleado de agua o un estudio en casa propio. Si está interesado en obtener más información sobre esta fabulosa oportunidad, visite www.mayusilkart.com/academy.
Does she even talk about what the paints are and how they're mixed?
Why don't people who do these videos ever include the paint information in the video and/or description?
So beautiful. What kind of paint do you use. Thanks
Hi Ingrid. Thank you for the compliment. Although marbling artists have a variety of paints from which to choose, in this video I am using acrylic paint which I have adjusted as needed, generally adding nothing more than water. When working on fabric, paint that is heavily pigmented will work best. We teach our entire process - including links to all of our preferred vendors and suppliers - through a series of online courses and in-person classes. To learn more about these programs, please go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy.
beautifull works, congratulations. which ink to use to transfer to the fabric cloth and not come out after washing?. thanks
We use acrylic paint. That said, not all acrylic paints - or fabrics - are equally suited for this process. Although it may look simple, this art form is surprisingly complex.
@@mayusilkartllc6738 Thanks Very much
I love your work pls tell which colours u use and what do u mix in that colours really I love ur work
Hello. Thank you for your compliment and your interest in Mayu Silk Art. We generally use water-based acrylic paint which we have adjusted as needed by adding distilled water or dispersant (surfactant).
Only water? If I use cornstarch?
Hermoso 😁
Hello! I live in Brazil and I loved this technique! Very beautiful!!! Could you tell me what you use in the water to keep the paint on the surface? Thank you very much in advance!
Hi Fatima. Thank you for your enthusiasm! This is truly an art that never ceases to fascinate those lucky enough to watch it happen. Although we make it look simple, the art is surprisingly complex, with a lot of science and history behind it. Techniques range from simply floating ink on plain water, to using all sorts of processes, materials, and tools to change the water, the pigments, or the environment to achieve the desired effects. In this example, we used a pinch of processed seaweed to thicken the water, and adjusted the paint as needed to bring the viscosity of the paint and water as close to one another as possible. There is no simple recipe for success, and the internet is full of confusing and often conflicting advice about how to do it. A simple water marbling or suminigashi kit can be purchased from your local shop if you just want to dabble in the art. But if you are seriously interested in learning our technique, and perhaps even starting your own water marbling studio or home business, you may want to consider our in-person, remote, and online classes. Follow the link in our bio or go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy to learn more.
@@mayusilkartllc6738 Thank you for your attention and kindness! I will definitely consider taking the course with you! get in touch! kisses!
Bonjour, quel mélange faites vous pour la viscosité de l'eau ? Merci
Hi
Amazing art! Amazing design! Could you please share the details about colour. I mean what kind of colours did you use for this art or what do I need for this art.
Thank you so much. Take care.🌸
Hello. Thank you for your enthusiasm! In this video, Star is using top quality acrylic paint with a heavy pigment load that she has adjusted as needed to attain the desired effect. In terms of tools and trays, brands and types of paint or ink or dye as well as the materials on which they will be printing and the products that they might add to the paint or the water, artists have a wealth of options. In order to get consistently good results, it is recording to understand the science behind art. Mini novice water verbal or‘s invest a lot of time and money that goes to waste as they struggle to find that balance. I suggest starting with a small marbling kit and see if you like the art. If you do, seek out a qualified teacher whose work inspires you. Once you have learned their basic technique, you can experiment and expand your knowledge and develop your own unique style.
Star and her team at Mayu Silk Art offer a variety of learning opportunities available online, remotely and in-person.
Folks who just want to experience the art but not learn all of the behind-the-scenes details can go to www.Mayusilkart.com/visit.
If you are interested in learning all of the processes and basic techniques, or in starting a business or home studio of your own, please go to www.mayusilkart.com/academy.
Beautiful! Can I ask which type of paints are you using and do u u an expander ? Do u also clean off left over paint with kitchen roll ? I had trouble with my paint sinking thanks 😊
This art is certainly capricious, and it can be difficult tor achieve consistently good results if you don't have a good basic understanding of the science and techniques involved. Much of it is simply a matter of balance - not too much, not too little. Not too fast, not too slow. Not too high, not too low. It is so much more than just having the right recipe, though. If any one element is missing, or out of balance, there are ways to adjust, but again - understanding is key. Paint can sink due to any number of factors. If you'd like me to help you troubleshoot your process, feel free to contact me directly at (949) 424-3458 (call/text/WhatsApp) or info@mayusilkart.com. - Star
@@mayusilkartllc6738I am interested to buy few colours from u....I am in India n I have my fashion designer

What kind of paint did you use?? I love it!
I use acrylic paint that I mix specially for the technique that is being done. We don’t sell our paints, per we, but as part of our online and in-studio intensive training, we do teach other how to source and prepare their own. You can learn more about these classes - including some really great discounts that will continue as long as any sort of COVID restrictions remain in our area - at www.mayusilkart.com/academy.

❤
Even tho I pre washed my silk scarf with Alum, most of the paint washed off. I did rinse it right away… should I have let it dry before rinsing it?
awesome! what kind of paint you use for that??
Forgive me for the delay in responding to your question. I don’t get on CZcams very often :/. Marblers use a variety of paints and inks, depending on the desired outcome, but in this particular video, Star is using high quality water-based acrylic paint.
woooooooooooow!
What type of powder gum to mix in water. 2nd after creating one design the water can be stored in bottel for next use ?
Great questions! The water (or “size” as it is called by marbling practitioners) can vary depending on what resources are available in a particular region, what type of paint is to be used, or what type of material is being dipped. Many powders are seaweed-based, others are made of tragacanth or other plants or even oil or synthetic products, but not all work equally well for every purpose. Most can be stored for repeated use for a day or two depending on weather, temperature, water hardness, etc.; some can be stored much longer. We teach our full method exclusively through the Mayu Silk Art Academy classes, which are offered online or in person, and are designed for people who are interested in starting a water marbling business or home studio of their own. Www.mayusilkart.com/academy
Beautiful. What kind of paint are you using?
Thanks for compliment. In this video, we’re using acrylic paint.
Donde se consiguen los peones que usa .y de hacerlos uno que distancia tienen los clavos
Can you tell me what is mixed with the acrylic paints in the bottle? Water and Kodak high flow? And are there certain proportions of each? I’ve looked on several of your videos with many people asking and for whatever reason i don’t see an answer anywhere . Any help you can give would be appreciated -i do not live anywhere near California-otherwise I would take a class at your place.Thank you. Renee Stern
Seems crazy that I cannot get a clear answer either as to what paint is used. She dragged the water prior but did not say why. Nice look but it would be nice to know these basics if she claims it to be a tutorial / demonstration
bonjours, est ce que ça tient au lavage et quelle encre utilisez vous
What's the clear stuff you use? Is it only water?
Beautiful work. Where do you get the plain silk scarves?
Hi Felicita. For the last two years (since Trump-era sanctions and tariffs were imposed, and the COVID pandemic broke so many supply chains), we get the plain silk scarves wherever we can! If you are searching for silk or marbling supplies, contact us at info@mayusilkart and we’ll try to help you source materials in your region. We do purchase in very large quantities so that we always have an ample supply, so we and our students don’t run out. But when silk can’t be found, there are some great alternatives such as cotton, polyester, and bamboo rayon. Thank you for your compliment - follow us to see more videos, and check out our website at www.mayusilkart.com to see all of our products and services- including classes, parties, special events, virtual and in-person scarf-painting visits and more.
Great video! Really enjoyed it. What is the binding medium you used here? I will like to hand made one and gift my muse. Can i use the fluid acrylic colour we use on canvas here too?
We use acrylics… but there’s a lot more to it than just floating some paint on water. Of course, you don’t need any training or special equipment to paint with us at our studio in Huntington Beach, Californi, or at street fairs or private parties/corporate events, etc. We do offer a great live virtual studio experience for folks who are not able to come to our studio.
@@mayusilkartllc6738 i would definitely like to experience such virtual studio as I live in different continent.

So beautiful 😍😍😍😍. Do you use plain regular water or do you do something to it?
Hi Myrna, marblers use a variety of ingredients and techniques in order to achieve the desired effects. Often, the choice is based on regional availability or climate. I’ve seen folks use tragacanth gum, cmc, methocellulose, wallpaper paste - even shaving foam. In this video, I think we were using a tiny bit of seaweed powder mixed with 2 gallons of water. We sell the powder in our student store.
@@mayusilkartllc6738 Thank you ❤. I live in Panama, I'll check what is available or what can I find. Very grateful for your response 🙏😍
Maybe I missed it, but what type of paint did you use for the silk?
Hi Kristen, it’s water-based high quality acrylic paint!
Can you use metallic/iridescent paint or other kind of effects?
Metallic and iridescent paints can be used, though the lines of types of paints is not as smooth as the non-sparkly colors. Also, the metallic paints can’t really “grab” into the fabric as the other colors do, so these colors have a tendency to flake off of the silk after a while.
Los trabajos son hermosos podrian traducirlos en español soy de argentina. se lo agradecería gracias
Do you immediately rinse? Or let it dry first, then rinse?
