Джованні Бальцарані recently demonstrated some creative techniques during a live Zoom session, using PrimaTek™ Watercolors to create lovely marbled texture effects. After wetting his heavyweight watercolor paper, he added random strokes of one color at a time, taking advantage of PrimaTek’s beautiful granulating qualities. He chose a variety of triads to show how nicely three colors can blend together on the paper.
Other techniques included lifting and shifting wet color with a wood skewer, splattering colors and using a liner brush to create thin veins, as seen in Italian marble. Giovanni also showed how the veins can look as negative space within the colors, using Маскувальна рідина DANIEL SMITH, which comes with multiple applicator tips for making thick or thin lines.

In this clip, Giovanni worked with Справжній родоніт, Справжній аметист і Справжній Сугіліт. On the left side, his colors blend on plain wet paper. On the right side he showed the different pastel tones that the colors take on when painted on top of a layer of Титановий білий.
In this clip, Giovanni worked with Diopside Genuine, Справжній зміїний, Справжній зелений апатит і Лампа чорна. He also showed how PrimaTek colors react differently on smooth versus textured paper.
In this clip, Giovannie worked with Справжній содаліт, Справжній лазурит і Справжній синій майя.
In this clip, after applying Маскувальна рідина DANIEL SMITH to the paper like veins in marble, Giovanni then used Справжній гематит, Справжній кров'яний камінь і Справжній чорний турмалін (left). On the right, he used Справжній гранат, Minnesota Pipestone Genuine і Mummy Bauxite.
