Water Marbling On Rocks

Here they are sprinkled into this step by step guide.

Water marbling on rocks.

We used the same japanese marbling paints we had on hand and process of swirling the colors with a skewer or toothpicks then dipping our rocks in and patting them lightly with a paper towel and letting them dry. There are a few tricks to making sure your water marble goes well. Make sure your bowl is deep enough and you have enough water to completely submerge your rock. Fill a bowl with cold water.

Add one drop of your first color into the bowl. Then add another drop of a different color to the center of the first color. The color will spread out. Marbling is easier than you think and once you ve learned the technique you ll be swirling and dipping everything you own from hats to totes to notebooks this tutorial is not to be missed.

The main difference is that rocks are porous so you ll want to seal with a varnish if you want your paint to stay vibrant and not smear.
