Full Description
Turkish marbling or Ebru Art is a form of paper marbling. Using a brush, colours are splashed onto a tray of water, a pattern is made and then that pattern is transferred to paper. Historically, paper marbling was the only form, but today, patterns can be transferred to all sorts of things such as leather, glass, cloth, furniture, book covers and notebooks.
It is thought that Ebru Art originated in China but became popular in Turkey during Ottoman times because Islam forbids people's faces from being depicted. Using Ebru Art, early Masters were able to decorate magazines, Qurans and more with colourful patterns instead.

This is not an art. It is an amazing thing. I have never seen any paint workshop like this. Really effected
We live in Germany came from Turkey 12 years ago. I always liked and i will like this Ebru Painting. My daughter s name is also Ebru. We got a colorful Ebru Art, put her picture in its middle and hanged on our wall with a nice frame.
I suggest do not try at home. If your mom sees that you painted armchairs while you think to do Ebru, she can be an Ottoman soldier. :D As i saw preparation period is longer than painting. Not easy as it seems.
