Marble Effect Painting Technique

A demonstration of the grey marble painting technique created on part of a sample board displayed in the studio to provide students with ideas and inspiration for the type of decorative paint effects and colour combinations they can create. This video demonstrates the technique used by a professional decorator, if you are interested in learning the painting technique, tools and paint used please check out our online art courses: www.southcoaststudio.co.uk/fa....
The marble paint effect is an ancient painting technique, yet even today provides an affordable alternative to buying real marble. Real marble countertops, flooring and other decor is very expensive and as a material is heavy and marks easily. Because the material is so heavy you have to consider whether the material is suitable for rooms above the ground floor. A practical alternative is hand-painted marble. Not only do you have complete control over the colour, intensity and finish of the marble design, it is significantly cheaper especially if you can learn how to do this technique yourself and if it gets marked or damaged you can easily touch-in and repair the paint work. Also, when you get bored you can easily repaint and redecorate. So it's much more versatile.
It's no wonder this paint effect is so popular. If you want to learn how to paint the marble effect our courses are designed for beginners and more experienced painters alike www.southcoaststudio.co.uk/fa....

Thanks for the in depth and quality. Some people are looking for more than the basic technique (which can be found with ease) and you delivered. Greatly appreciated.

[@clairecashman9305]

I get it. Real marble has a translucent quality to it...the layering makes it so real. takes patience. the imperial castle in Vienna especially has this technique throughout the palace. Thank you for sharing your talent and craft - Awesome!!

[@raydelvalle4059]

Wow what an artist. God bless you're talent

[@MB-mq1sf]

Absolutely gorgeous! Great work. I think the detail sets the professionals apart, he made it look aged with the depth looking like real marble. Side note to negative Nancy's in every comment section: These are real people showing the world what they can do; helping some people that need it out of pure kindness. That being said every video will not be for everyone hense why so many videos will be alike. There are many ways to do a thing. So saying it's overworked is implying you know the result better then the artist. Which you don't. It's easy to say rude and mean things over Internet but we need to remember these are real people with real lives and real feelings. You don't know what battles a person Is fighting. Is it so hard to be kind or be quiet? I'm sorry I just had to say this.

[@CJDe-kx8of]

Very nice; I like the marbling effect you create. The feather looks like it could be a rooster's tail feather? which I can find in my backyard. I think I could use your feather idea in some of my other painting projects. Thanks.

How long did it take?

[@emilyann8086]

Christ sakes!! So many “experts” thinking they can do better or they know better! This is HIS take on marble. He teaches how you can build things up with multiple layers rather than using loads of different colours. I grew up with a grandma who had a MASSIVE slab of marble sitting outside her house and it looked just like this painting does. I remember vividly as I would lie down on the slab and trace every vein it had. I thought it was the most magical and beautiful thing I had ever seen! I think you have done a wonderful job! The whole video was extremely soothing for me. The music made me totally relax and it brought back the fond memories I stated above. I have ended up watching this video on a loop about 4-5 times now and can’t get enough of the peaceful feeling I get and the amazement of how well you have done! 10 outta 10 from me! 😁💜

very nice. thanks for posting....

[@gabrielchendang]

I'm interested in the last step, when did you paint the varnish /clear, was it applied/panited when the painting was still wet or when it was already dried?

[@Arterexius]

Some paints have a semi gloss or full gloss in them which becomes visible once dried. Giving it varnish will of course make it last longer

[@williamskrainski8407]

[@joanofirk6216]

Thanks, learning to paint with glazes is a worthwhile challenge, @@SouthCoastStudio. I can't help thinking about all of the time it took to master blending with thick acrylics, when this is so much more fluid and the effects are beautiful. In this video, at the 5:30 mark, are you applying clear glaze or tinted white glaze? I might have other questions, as I keep learning. I hope you don't mind.

[@joanofirk6216]

Also, at 6:20, is the surface wet or dry?

[@joanofirk6216]

Also...lol is the surface wet or dry at 7:20? It's hard to tell, because of the sheen of the glaze, whether it's wet or dry. Thank you so much, if you have the time to answer. I'm not in a hurry, there's so much to learn!
