Caught her painting on water at Bayezid II Külliye Health Museum located in Edirne, Turkey. I believe they also call it Turkish paper marbling or Ebru...

  • @heyitsHANNAH1190 She says it during the first 20 second of the video but i didn't quite understand her either. concentrated seaplants with grease? i think thats what she said... (makes sense because it floats on water) i would try oil based paint.

  • @heyitsHANNAH1190 Carrageenan in the water and oxgall in the paint. Oxgall is an oil that mixes with watercolor. You only need a tiny amount of it. Mix your carrageenan with water and let it sit for 12 hours.

  • @dunorecit explains why the newspaper didnt drown right away

  • For marbling I use Utrecht artist series Acrylics(they are the best!) about 1 part paint 4 parts water and them mix a couple drops of ox gall to get it to float. Also, this is not just water it is a mixture of carrageenan... but I don't know what this particular person is using...

  • @msjonas95 its not oil based. the paints are water based but the water is thickened using carregaenen or metyhl cell.

  • absolutely gorgeous technique :)

  • @msjonas95 yes just normal paper but you need oil based paint so it floats on the water, you can just thin artists oil paint with white spirit or turps
