So anyhow, after spending the best part of yesterday and the day before re-reading them all, here are my personal top 5 books on the subject of marbling, many of which are still readily available for purchase online 😀 There is no substitute for a well-written book and even more so on the subject of marbling the tips and advice given within these books are priceless, I can’t count how many times I have referred back to my own copies even after marbling many hundreds of sheets in my past. Whilst I don’t necessarily recommend purchasing every book on the subject, I would advise getting at least one, one that you can use in your workroom without having to try and find what you need online, which if you’re reading this post, you’ll probably appreciate that this can be hard at the best of times. Below you will find a list of what I consider the best books to buy and read on the subject of marbling (+1 on paste papers which is very good).Ī few marbling videos from the professionals There are a number of books I have read over the years that have helped me become more competent in paper marbling, some of which have gone out of publishing but many of which are still available today.
USING PHOTOFLOW FOR MARBLING WOOD PROFESSIONAL
Marbling is easy to pick up and good fun if you don’t mind getting a little bit messy, but when you strive for professional results you really need to be taught by the pros. There are up-to-date packages available for Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 and Mint 17/17.I have done my fair share of marbling in the past for both clients and personal projects but I am by no means an expert in the subject, this may already be apparent by the lack of technical terminology used within this post but probably even more so when you compare my work with that of a true master. Installing from PPA (Ubuntu Linux and derivate distributions)
