after tons of researching on the internet, i came across this image

which reminded me of the marbling technique for nail art.

“marbling! why havent i thought of that!!??!”

couldn’t wait to start on experimentation on the marbling technique in studio today.

using the calligraphy ink and a sink of water, these were my results.

patterns are naturally formed from the movement of the water.

newsprint over the puddle of water to absorb ink.

i got carried away and did a few variations. (it was so fun and inspiring to see the end results, especially when you don’t expect anything)
