How do you make marble effect with paint?

How to Get Marble Effect Painted Walls?

The method to paint your walls in marble effect is as follows.

1. The first step is to gather the right paints. For this effect, you will require two satin paints in different shades. You can do so by first purchasing the main colour, which will be your base, and then buying white paint. You then need to mix these two in small amounts to make the highlight shade. 

2. Now, you must move out all the other items, such as your furniture and ensure the working space is completely clean. 

3. Sand the surface with sandpaper to smoothen out the surface. 

4. Once the sanding process is complete, take a clean brush and wipe the surface to get rid of any dust or grit. You must ensure that the surface is absolutely clean to move ahead.

5. Take your paint roller and apply a thin layer of the primer on the surface. Wait for it to dry. If the original surface can be seen, paint another coat of primer and keep it dry.

6. Next, paint your base colour over the primer and wait for it to dry. Then, see if it has covered the primer. If not, paint another coat of your base colour.

7. Take glaze and mix it with your paint in the ratio given on the product. Add the mix over the surface with a large paintbrush and let the brush flow around the surface to make abstract patterns, if you wish to be creative. However, for uniform patterns, use a sponge roller instead.

8. In the last step to create a marble effect painting, grab a feather brush after the paint has dried. With the help of the brush and white paint, create the marble’s signature veined look. After you’re done, cover the surface with a coat of polyurethane varnish to add the marble sheen over the surface.

That’s all for this answer. I hope you have learned to create the marble look wall painting.
