Painting on water - The Ancient Art of Ebru. We are official distributor of Artdeco and Karin Ebru Paints and Accessories We run private classes, school classes and events for kids and adults. Ebru is the traditional Turkish art of creating colorful patterns by sprinkling and brushing color pigments onto a pan of oily water and then transferring the patterns to paper. Known as marbling, the designs and effects include flowers, foliage, ornamentation, latticework, mosques and moons, and are used for decoration in the traditional art of bookbinding. The practitioner uses natural methods to extract colors from natural pigments, which are then mixed with a few drops of ox-gall, a kind of natural acid, before sprinkling and brushing the colors onto a preparation of condensed liquid, where they float and form swirling patterns. You can talk about Ebru forever, but it is better to see it or even better to try it http://ebruart.cz/inspirations
