Learn some of the time-honored techniques of marbling, also called faux marbre, as these techniques are true trompe l'oeil in that even at close examination, the illusion does not fall apart. This is not a beginner class where colors are just blended together for a vague, marble-like look.

The class will undertake a detailed study of each real marble by breaking down individual components to better understand their nature. Emphasis is placed on composition and technique, using only modern water-based glaze mediums.

Students are given hands-on instruction using a combination of traditional European and North American techniques.

This year we will undertake to learn Portor (black/gold) Rose Breche, Paonetto and Rouge Royal. All in water-based acrylic.
