Marble Effect Painting Technique

Nice to see someone who knows what they're doing. Beautiful work, very professional.

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Thank you, it's kind of you to comment 👍

[@ashleyhill871]

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.

[@christopherstefano384]

"Did this....was fabulous........."...lotsa work....layers....BUT the outcome was fantastic....then sprayed with HG gloss....looked like the real thing!....BRAVO!!!!

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Well done 👍

[@myg6204]

Yes exactly

[@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!!

[@manlypedro75]

That's a lot of layers! One could easily get stuck on a favorite layer. It appears the more the better... Thanks for posting vid!

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Thanks for the comments, yes, if you have time, the more layers the better the results.

[@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.

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! 😁💜

[@tlrmd4you]

Just wow!!! This is why you are the artist and I’m trying to learn. I missed if you mixed anything in your paints? Thank you for sharing this with us just trying to make something pretty.

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Thank you, this technique is very versatile you just have to consider what type of paint you use and how you finish and protect your work. All of this advice is covered in my online course: www.southcoaststudio.co.uk/faux-marbling-online-course.

[@lorette2443]

Your demonstration was awesome but only if you would have kept describing all the details while working such as why did you paint so many layers, which paint were you using, what color contrast go well, does the paint have to dry between coatings and can we finally seal the work with any clear coating. A reply would be appreciated.

[@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!

like the feather idea for lines, but could easily be done with 1 coat primer, dabbing colors of choice on, (darkest to lightest)... and 2 coats poly on top.... and done with time enough to enjoy is the same day... (also was very little explaining on what paints/brushes, costs etc...)

What do you use to protector the board polyurethane or lacquer??? Or acrylic sealant

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Hi Jaime, for interior work, I always use acrylic lacquer.

[@oddfellowi4711]

This is brilliant. Bit obsessed with trying to get the hang of fake marble (I want to have a go at some of our skirting boards once I can produce a vaguely reasonable and consistent technique). I've watched multiple videos but keep coming back to this one. Could you please tell me if you use just ordinary emulsion? Also is it just different shades of the same colour? You seem to use 3 tones-a greyish colour, a lighter colour and then a darker colour (for the veiny bits). Is the darkest shade black or very dark brown? Apologies I am slightly colour-blind. I've only tried acrylics/acrylic glazes so far but this looks ace.

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Hi there, thanks for the comments, I usually stick to acrylic paint for these types of effects. To keep the paint from drying too quickly, I added a little acrylic scumble. I used a tiny amount of black, but mainly shades of dark brown, over a white base. Good luck with your work, take care, Simon

[@oddfellowi4711]

@@SouthCoastStudio ​Hi Simon. Thanks for the reply. Hmm interesting. Your paint looks thicker/smoother than mine (perhaps it's better quality) or maybe it's the use of scumble. Do you add the scumble to each colour you use? I've never used it before. I'll get myself some and also a dark brown and continue to have a mess about (I'm nothing if not persistent!). Thanks again for the advice. Stephen.

[@SouthCoastStudio]

@oddfellowi4711 hi Stephen your welcome, if you want to know more, I have lots of how-to videos and short courses on my KZbin memberships, best wishes Simon

[@oddfellowi4711]

@@SouthCoastStudio I'll keep having a go but may well have a look at your tutorials. I've seen lots of videos where people produce a reasonable marble-ish effect (arguably with fewer steps and quicker) but your stuff is on another level (what with taking the time to do the different layers and all) so it's well worth putting the time in to try and learn. Thanks again!

[@oddfellowi4711]

@SouthCoastStudio Hi Simon. Sorry for another comment. I just wondered if there is a full tutorial of the carrara marble on your channel? I'm thinking of signing up to the gold subscription for a bit to get more information on how to achieve this effect? Thanks.

[@carolcalf2032]

I’m afraid without being told what you were doing is was extremely difficult to work out what you were doing Shame because the final effect was good but we don’t know how you did it. Perhaps that was intentional?

[@SouthCoastStudio]

Hi, these were just sample boards which I prepared for my in-person studio courses

Hi thanks for the kind words, for this sample board I used water based paint. Acrylic eggshell paint for the base and acrylic scumble glaze and colourisers from Polyvine. The tools I used were, a stippling and a softening brush, a couple of artists paint brushes and a feather.

[@Marie-rq4lv]

Hello! can you tell me which brushes and materials you use for this effect?

[@jackwardley3626]

Juliana Graham. if your desk is a white background I would use a acrylic system 3 paynes grey mixed with original glaze scumble . Then secondly mix your paynes grey with a white matt emulsion not vinyl your a white undercoat.Thirdly you could lightly use the paynes grey by it's self so it stand's out more for a heavier finish.

[@MrVbobby]

When simulating marble try alcohol in a spray bottle for water based paints and naptha or lighter fluid for oil base paints it does at least half the job for you. I used to paint movie sets and for big surfaces like replicating the US Senate for Logan's run or the supreme court for first Monday in October we used homemade marble walpaper made with a rectangle container filled with water we floated oil paints on the surface with ketchup bottles pulled the rolls of paper under that water and when it came up the oil paint stuck to the top of the paper instant marble. Your work looks pretty good but I am sorry to say it would not get past any art director or decorator that I worked for . Keep at it the alcohol/naptha trick really works

[@suspensefulness]

what paint do u use and can the same be done using epoxy

[@SouthCoastStudio]

I don't use epoxy paint for these types of paint effects, apart from as a high gloss finish lacquer, once the effect has been achieved.

[@suspensefulness]

@@SouthCoastStudio i was thinkin the same thing ,just use the clear epoxy for a top coat ,but use the acrylics as the actual art

[@SouthCoastStudio]

In my experience, this works best. If you would like to learn more about how I created these effects, then you can head over to my memberships and watch several detailed tutorials on the Artist level. Good luck with your projects.

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?

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
