Layer of 'Pale Grey Blue.' Whole model wash made from equal parts 'Prussian Dark Blue' 'Heavy Violet' and 'Glaze Medium'. This ties together all colours and gives shadows and hues to the marble. Water down 'Smoke' and add thin lines that follow the same direction. Lines can vary in size and amount of water used to create different patterns and hues. Mix 'Smoke' and 'Dark Prussian Blue' and water it down to add even thinner lines at the center of previous lines, and add veins stretching away from them. All lines should be flowing in a similar direction. At this point the model will also look more like a tiger pattern than marble. I also added patches of watered down 'Smoke' and 'Woodgrain' to vary the tones of the marble. Heavy drybrush and stippling of 'Pale Grey Blue' over all the marble. This will obscure most of the lines and and leave faint traces that make the patterns look like marble. You can also use multiple layers of watered down Pale grey blue to create a similar effect, depending on how controlled you want to be. Hope this helps!

Samanar 73 Posted August 15, 2018 Awesome mate, thank you very much for detailed recipe! Funny enough, I got all the paints you mentioned so let the experiments begin! :D Quote Link to comment
mcfishstick 229 Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Really sorry I seem to have left out a stage of that painting recipe! When adding thin lines with smoke and dark russian blue I also added watered down patches and blotches of vallejo smoke and woodgrain which helps vary the marble's tone. I've also experimented with glazing the finished model to give it a green marble tone. I should have a picture of that up soon. Edited August 15, 2018 by mcfishstick Quote Link to comment
