Paint Marbling - The Italian Vein

See how artist Rene Eisenbart creates a beautiful marbled masterpiece with the Italian Vein technique!
As you add lacy circles and swirls of background color, the paint in between is pushed into dark lines or veins. Variations include using clear gall or white paint instead of color for the background, or use several paint colors for the veins instead of black.
