Students learn SO much from this project. At the very minimum, science, math, and humanities are involved. Science is involved understanding why the ink floats on water, why the colors don't mix, water currents, the necessary chemical composition of the paper, and why the ink is permanent on paper but not on cloth. Math is involved with various terms like concentric circles, abstract design, ratios of ink to water to ensure floating, depth, and 2 dimension. Humanities is an element because of learning a Japanese technique. Projects like this are great for individuals with special needs because there is NO wrong result. Everyone has a unique, yet perfect ending.

A real reason why arts should still be taught and practical skills taught in schools, it would benefit so many with different skills/needs.
The therapeutic effect of this technique is absolutely amazing. It is almost hypnotic to watch and soothes the entire body and mind.
Just to share that we did this with our Kindy kids in Japan - each child making their own - basic construction-weight paper. Dried out on a clothes line, then the kids cut out their cosmos (planets, stars, comets, aliens) and pasted over a black background washed in rock salt to give space fluidity. A great rap-up on a unit of astronomy - interweaving science&art with historical&future themes. Of course with K-kids, the Declarative learning preceded this more Explorative/Procedural approach with plenty of learning for students & teachers alike.
I am neither a teacher, group leader or parent but I'll still watch this :)
Looks so cool!
The scarf was the new one - I imagine the possibilities are unlimited. Thank you.
+himanshu Mishra A fluid acrylic can be used. Much of the paint will sink when applied to plain water, but enough will float on the surface for subtle marbled colors to transfer to paper. For bold colors, you would need to thicken the water with carrageenan or methyl cellulose.
do you think Agar Agar will work to thicken the water?
+saxgrrrl Yes, agar agar would work but don’t use so much that the water becomes a solid gelatin. You justneed enough to thicken the water slightly.
saxgrrl ... Alum or carrageenan (seaweed) powder to the water first (stir) then it will work better
Just did this with my students as an end of the year project and they LOVED it!
This is a really good lesson outline with great application in the classroom and demonstrated really clearly! Thank you so much!
Oh wow, I love that. As if I didn't need another craft to get interested in. I am gonna have to try this some day. It looks like an art I would get addicted to.
Dittos
That was so beautiful! I love this! Time to buy some new art supplies! That scarf was gorgeous!
Super cool tutorial! I can't wait to try some of this!! I found this by accident while looking for decoupage ideas...and I'm SO Glad I did!!! Super!!
Had no idea we could do this , I saw someone do this on metal and it all is amazing!!
could you send a link of the metal? Or are you talking about the hydro dipping with enamel paints?
Great demonstration - thank you! I will show my students your video in our after-school club, plus try this technique at home with my child.
great video i must add, it actually gave a good description of the materials used instead of describing how to use them.
Is there a difference for how the painting sets based off the temperature of the water?
How do I make my ink appear brighter? Would using the copper plate paper help with that?
I noticed below you talked about the thickness of water. How does that affect the painting or should I just enjoy that adventure and find out on my own?
I know this video is 7 years old, but hopefully you will see this and be able to respond.
WOW! SO enjoying this..
thank you. i finally got my ?s answered. im doin' this. thx! long live creativity!
Were can we find the ink and paper? Does what kind of brush matter?
Would this work on a canvas? Preferably on a stretched canvas, although i suppose i could work with canvas rolls if need be. And i would have to assume it would only work on or have better results on canvases that aren't primed?
This is really interesting, i'm so intrigued by this
So pretty! Thank you for the demonstration! I want to try this!
Please do!
Gorgeous. Thanks for this video!
thank you very much! it's amazing!
interesting video, quite helpful. I've watched many times. Sure wish you would have mentioned more about using it with fabric and demonstrated that technique as well.
How did you do the scarf please? Did you pull it through the marbled surface or did you use a scarf sized container?
Thank you! Very interesting and beautiful.
omg that looks amazing!!
Is there any other types of inks that can be used? even if it doesn't give the exact same results but anything similar atleast?
did you know you can add pearl ex powder with the ink
Awesome! Doing the scarf idea for Christmas gifts
What is the difference between Jacquard Marble ink and the ink you use in this tutorial?
I don't understand why you need all these chemicals with Jacquard?
Fascinating and nice.
Let it sit in the water longer before you take the paper out. Also let it dry for just a few seconds at least. Unnecessary ink loss/smudging.
Repeate, please, what kind of Jacquard's product I need to make these inks permanent for the silk fabric?
You can find all the products at Blick Art Materials. "Sizing" is what the artist is talking about in the video. If you click on the link in the video description, it will take you to all the information about this project along with all the materials,
Can one use acrylic inks?
simple to do and pretty!!
thank yew so much!
Thanks! No art budget at present, but I'm sure something in 'The Box Of A Thousand Yellows and Other Unused Art Supplies' can be re purposed. I just watched a video on 3d paper folding that should come in handy too!
would it be possible to use water-based paint (watercolor or acrylic) over these inks? is that like trying to paint with acrylic over oil?
why did some of my paint fall straight to the bottom and some spread into beutiful circles? i used the same paint from blick. thanks!
Sharon Saks Sometimes the droppers let out too heavy of a drop which sinks. Try dipping a fine tip brush or toothpick in the ink to drop onto the water surface.
At the moment, I am using non-toxic inks (without flo-go), but would like to include more of the color shades. It looks like this is possible with permanent inks, would like to experiment. Is there a special way to dispose of the water when using permanent inks? Thankyou
Muito interessante e diferente, é lindo, gostei, amei, muito obrigada.
do you have to use that kind of ink or are there any other paint/ink products that i can use if i cant afford those inks?
Make sure to follow the project specifically in order to achieve these results.
Please, How can you tell if a paper has sizing. Thanks for Uploading
+DomainofDotArt Most papers have some amount of sizing in them - watercolor papers, mixed media papers, and drawing papers tend to have the most sizing. The easiest way to determine if the paper has sizing and get an idea of how much, would be to put a drop of water on the surface and see if and how quickly it soaks in. The less sizing it has the quicker the water will absorb (think water absorbing in a paper towel compared to a watercolor paper). If you have additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
The scarf is fabulous!
what a wonderful lady
Thank you for this.!
fascinating!!
May I know the name of paper so I buy in store please? Thank you!
MrSalmonOrange The demonstration uses Copperplate Paper (available on our website at dickblick.com), but any unsized paper will do. We have found that Subi Block Printing Paper also works well if you are on a tighter budget. For any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
MrSalmonOrange Thank you so much! I wish you all the best!
So beautiful! Love the scarf, I didnt fully understand; you place the scarf as paper in sections I guess, then blot, then soak in that other mixture then cold water? Thanks..this is a very relaxing "zen" activity to calm nerves and somewhat spiritual too
+MakeUpDetective007 To marble a scarf, yes you will work in sections when dipping it in the color. Blot the scarf afterinitially removing it from the color and allow it to dry. Once dry, then you will want to soak it in the Jacquard Dye Set Concentrate (if you soak it before the color dries it may cause the colors to move). After following the directions on the bottle remove the scarf and rinse the Dye Set out. Then in the future if you need to wash it, it is best to hand wash in cold water. If you have additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
nice demo, thanks!
I've been trying this with the Blick colours but with virtually no success. I find that the colours sink to the bottom of the pan. I've tried using bottled water in case our tap water is unsuitable, but again the colours just sink. I'd appreciate any advice.
We have not experiimented with canvas in this process and therefore aren't certain of what type of results you may have.
Are you able to transfer this onto any type of mounted canvas or dip other types of materials other than the copper paper?
+Anna Pace You can marble other materials but those things without sizing or raw (unprimed) will work the best. So consider raw, unstretched canvas, canvas tote bags, canvas sneakers, silk scarves, and unsized paper (block printing paper or construction paper) work well too. If you have additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
love the demo
Really good video. Looks amazing
very interesting, can you tell me what kind of ink and what kind of paper. blick is my favorite store wish i spend my whole time there
@antijelly Do acrylics work similar in this method?
will it be possible with acrylic paints?
Hi, I just bought this same kit, and I am wanting to marble a white cotton T-shirt. Do you think it will still work just like it works on silk? And that liquid you said at the end of your video to make it permanent on clothing, would I still need that for a regular T-shirt? And with that liquid, (sorry I can't remember the name of it) after the clothing is soaked in that, then I wash the clothing in cold water? Thank you for posting your video, it will help me when I use my kit :)
Kalena Losano Instead of using the kit that is shown on this video, use this kit by Jacquard: www.dickblick.com/products/jacquard-marbling-starter-kit/ . It is designed for use on cotton or paper. If you want more colors, you can use the Jacquard Textile Colors - all of these products are available on our website at dickblick.com. For any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
Thank you for your response! and for your recommendation of the kit by Jacquard! i will get this kit and try it out :)
Thank you. Can this be used on silk, cotton, or polyester fabrics also?
+Akosua Tait These marbling inks work best on natural fibers (cotton, silk, etc). We would recommend avoiding polyester or nylon fabrics. You will also need to set the inks after they have dried with the Jacquard Dye Set Concentrate: www.dickblick.com/products/jacquard-dye-set-concentrate/ .
@maxapotamus You can mix your own grey by using black and white ink - Blick Art Materials sells several varieties of marbling ink. Check out dickblick . com / products / jacquard-marbling-starter-kit /.
Glad you like the video - thanks!
Great how-to on sumi nagashi! Question - Do you not need to blend a surfactant solution into the inks before adding them to the water?
+AbsentWithoutLeaving No, the paints come ready to use. The only thing you may wish to do is shake the bottle before using (to make sure the formula hasn’t settled or separated). If you have any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
Sorry, I culdn't understand what Jaquard's product use for silk fabrick to do these inks permanent?
Natalshok
what are you going to do with that afterwards,you stick it in your bedroom wall?
@jessicams3105 Printer paper is very thin and will not give you the best results. It will also wrinkle and warp as it is drying. It is not recommended for this process.
whe r e do you buy those type of paint
Very interesting .... Much like the Ebru art. I tried with Acrylic paint, but it went right down to the bottom ... maybe too thick ... Whould you suggest I use it again, but make a bit thinner with water?
Santa Wessels There are few issues that could have caused the paint to sink. First would be that your water is too hard. Try using distilled water instead of tap water or add a little Methyl Cellulose to the water. The paints could be too thick and heavy, causing them to sink as well. Make sure they are fluid and close to an ink consistency. Finally, be sure to drop the paint close to the surface, almost touch the surface of the water with the brush instead of holding it high above the surface. If you drop it from too high, it will have too much velocity and will break the surface tension. For any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com.
Thank you so much for your reply and the info. It makes sense. I appreciate. Will definitely try again. Really could be fun. Best wishes to you. :-)
Santa Wessels
Is this ink safe to dispose down the drain?

Thank you.
Wow! Great technique and kids would have fun doing this for sure. Even me!!! :) tfs
I'd love to have ur job...Omgoodness!!
where do you get plain silk to make your scarf?
+Pam Stefanik We offer silk scarves: www.dickblick.com/products/silk-scarves/ or you can find silk at a fabric store.
Can I buy the paints and paper in a local store? thanks:)
Never thought I'd say this but this is probably one of the best marbling videos on the internet. Does anyone know if you can get white and grey marbling inks? I'm trying to go for a more volcanic ashy look rather than bright and colourful.
My colors didn't come out as brightly as the examples in this video. Instead they came out pretty faded like they were in the sun for a few months. Have I done something wrong?
Hi Julie,
I really liked how you demonstrated the printing tricks however, I couldn't really hear what those inks are called and where can I get them? By the way I live in Australia. Many thanks
Saru
Saru Nakarmi Julie is using the Suminagashi kit in this video. As for the paper, she recommends the Copperplate paper, but the Subi Block Printing Paper works well too all available on our website at dickblick.com). For any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-309-343-6181 x5406 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
Hiya. I got this pack from etsy in Sydney. They sell online too :-)
beautifullll
Is this ink safe to dispose down the drain?
+Angela Moulton You can check with your local waste water treatment facility, but most locations do not have a problem with these paints going down the drain. If you have additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
Thanks for the quick response. It's helpful to me
I love how you demo where can I get paint for fabrics is there any other product for fabric thank you
Hi Sylvia! For fabric, we would recommend a different method and kit. Jacquard Marbling Starter Kit comes with everything you will need (except the fabric) to marble on fabric or paper. It is a little more lengthy process but you will have better results. @products/jacquard-marbling-starter-kit/ If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542
Yes I live in ATLANTA art materials are so far from me will call
this is magical :D
Do you have to use the Japanese inks or will any ink do this technique ?
+Martha West These are an oil based ink so they more readily float on the surface. If you want to use a waterbased ink, you will need to thicken the water with Borax or Carrageenan: www.dickblick.com/products/jacquard-carrageenan/
Blick Art Materials ok I see, I have not ventured into this art yet. I need to have a little more time to study this more👍🏼
Awesome!
Sizin? Sizing? Copper plate paper?
Where can I find the paper?
Wow just wonderful very interesting
hi
i tried with just water and the paint just sank for me , what should i do ?
thanks
can you do this with canvas or only paper?
it looks so cool
Will it work on plastic things ? Maybe adding some polish ?
Spi Rale It depends on the type of plastic and what it is going to be used for. These are water based paint so they will not be durable on the plastic. Using a solvent based paint, such as nail polish or enamel would be more durable. You may need to experiment with different paints to find the best color and most durable option. For any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
You can dilute the black before putting it in the water. I don't know about the white, but if you are using white paper you can use oil and it spreads the same way. I don't know what kind is the best though :/ I've only tried olive oil and it spread way to much.
Hope this helped :)
hi, what is the name of this mixture to make them permament on the silk ? please answer:)
Once you have marbleized the silk and let it dry, soak it in a bath of Jacquard Dye-Set Concentrate - @products/jacquard-dye-set-concentrate/. Allow to soak for 5 minutes and then rinse in cold, clean water. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542
I want to water marble on plastic serfes. Do this colors transfer on a plastic?
+Etty Moshev All of our marbling kits are for paper or fabric only. There is a product called Magic Marble that offers paints that can be used on non-porous surfaces (such as plastic and glass). If you have any additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
Can i do this with acrylic paints?
+Paula Z Acosta Rodriguez There is not a direct substitute for the Suminagashi Inks. Blick also offers marbling kits from Jacquard, and these may be preferable to some artists. With any problems or issues over the performance
of the Suminagashi Kits, our Product Information Team would be happy to help.
is there an alternative ink to use that doesnt run.?
+ Linde Clark There is not a direct substitute for the Suminagashi Inks. Blick also offers marbling kits from Jacquard, and these may be preferable to some artists. With any problems or issues over the performance of the Suminagashi Kits, our Product Information Team would be happy to help.
how do you spell the paints you are using?
can we use watercolor paper? and ordinary acrylic paint? thank you.
+Denyse Phenix While you can use watercolor paper, the sizing in it can sometimes prevent the ink/paint from soaking in enough. An unsized paper works the best, such as construction paper or soak the watercolor paper prior to using to remove some of the sizing. If you want to use acrylic paint you will need to thicken the water with Carrageenan (www.dickblick.com/products/jacquard-carrageenan/). Otherwise the acrylic paint will sink to the bottom. The ink used in the video floats because it is very thin and contains a small amount of oil.
This is so frickin radical
Could you use oil pastels on the paper before dipping it?
Boo-boo Lip Yes, using oil pastels to create outlines or designs prior to dipping the paper would be just fine. If you have more questions, feel free to contact our Product Information Department at 800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com .
When I tried this my colors were much more subtle than they appear on this video. Is there some technique I'm missing that will get the same color intensity that you show here?
Sharon showed one print where the colors were more subtle, and on that one she said it was because the paper had sizing.
arly helm
what does that mean that a paper has sizing?
