| Details: | In this class, we will mix colors using specialized paints and learn how to work with the flow of water to create one of a kind abstract patterns and experiment with different papers and printing materials. A brief discussion of traditional cultural patterns, such as Italian marbling, will also be covered, with plenty of room to experiment.
Ebru, originating in Turkey between the 13-15th c. as an adaptation of previous Suminagashi and painting on water traditions of 8-12c China and Japan, is commonly referred to as Marbling in the west, where is most commonly associated with end pages (originally used to prevent forgeries and erasure and eventually adopted to include ledger edges).
The practice relies on combining water and a plant-based sizing agent to float paints on top of a thickened solution, allowing the artist to create pools and puddles of color before manipulating them into patterns.
An artist needs to have a light hand, refined taste and an open mind to the unexpected patterns forming on the water, and Patience.
