Marbling is a traditional art technique where thinned paints are floated on a thickened "bath" made from carrageenan or methylcellulose, and then manipulated to create intricate designs that can be printed onto paper, fabric, or other materials (Source ID: 4). In the context of fine arts and Golden Artist Colors, marbling involves using acrylic paints, such as Golden Fluid Acrylics, which need to be balanced to achieve the desired effect (Source ID: 5). The balancing process requires modifying the paints to have low surface tension, allowing them to float and spread on the surface of the bath (Source ID: 6). By controlling the colors and the marbling process, artists can create unique and beautiful designs, making marbling a valuable technique to master (Source ID: 8). Golden Artist Colors provides resources, such as application sheets and technical information, to help artists get started with marbling (Source ID: 7).
