Bexley Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Here's one for white marble. Don't know of any for black marble. http://www.chestofcolors.com/cofc-postnuke/index.php?name=Sections&req=viewarticle&artid=45&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 This tutorial is for green marble, but the general technique should apply to a variety of colours. I've used it to paint white before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted May 10, 2008 Report Share Posted May 10, 2008 Are you looking for something similar to my Jolie WIP? I can whip something up very quickly if need be, but it is based on the article Wren referenced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderhawkerMinis Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 I have dabbled a bit in black marble as well. What I did was simple: 1 - thin layer of suitable non-porous surface (in this case apoxie clay), primed black 2 - Place alot of water until the surface is covered. An eye dropper or pipette would work for this, or a fairly large brush. You want the surface tension to be at the edges. If you are doing tiles, I suggest using a masking fluid, or maybe cut bits of tape to cover other areas. 3 - Just dip your brush in your paint (just the tip mind) and move it in random directions in the water. 4 - Change colors and repeat step 3. 5 - This is going to take a few layers so be patient and let it dry on its own or you will get pooling, even on a flat surface. 6 - layer of 'ardcoat to polish it up.
