Paper Marbling Tutorial, making the Pompey Star and Crescent with James Mouland Ebru Studio

This paper marbling tutorial guides participants on the process for making the Star and Crescent, part of Portsmouth’s Coat of Arms.
Portsmouth City Museum is hosting events for Bookfest 2023, I am collaborating with Hamza from www.craftdraft... to run a workshop for participants to create marbled paper that they will use to make their own hand-bound book.
The marbled paper designs are inspired by the City of Portsmouth's Coat of Arms and seaside location.

Really beautiful work. I’ve been testing out some samples for an art project that I’m working on but I’m having a tough time and I’m not sure where I am feeling. I wonder if Carragegan is too thick. I’ve had success with a couple colors, but failed with the other two. The twos that were successful, were ready to pour paint, which I did add some water to and the ox gal. The other two were tube paint which I added water to an ox gal, but I just couldn’t get them to sit on the surface enough. They always stayed small, and slowly sunk. Right now I am doing small batches to test what I am doing before I start a much larger project.

It’s tough on your own, I admire your perseverance, keep going!

Great! Thanks. Do you leave the brushes in the paint?Do you keep the colours wells covered when not in use?

[@JamesMouland]

I leave the brushes in the paint until I’m finished working at the end of day, then I clean them and cover the paint
