How to float acrylic paint on water.

Marbling wood with acrylic paint.

First you will need to marble the wood panel. In maker space we tried out a brand new paint marbling project using wood and were thrilled by the response it received. The main basic supplies needed when doing acrylic paint marbling are below. For this i have an acrylic paint pouring technique that will give you a marbled look.

This technique is messy so i use scrap cardboard to cover my table. Then mix your paint in disposable cups.
