Interesting marble painting method

[YPU]

Somebody on my FB just shared a video of a girl who has a very interesting method of painting marble effect on pottery. Basically, she blows bubbles with paint in them over the surface, with the paint congregating on the edges and creating a marbled effect. It sounds easy but her results look great, and I'm wondering if we could do the same for miniatures.

I wish I could link to the video or at least pictures directly, but all of them are hosted on websites that don't allow that so all I have is this link: https://www.instagram.com/hedyyang_/

Very cool results with those bubbles. Thanks for the link.

I can think of no reason why it wouldn't work on minis. You'd probably get best results on a really matte base paint with a good tooth, and it might be tricky to judge the ideal bubble size, but with practice I'm sure some good results could be achieved.

I'm a bit skeptical in that she uses soap as part of the "carrier medium" (mixed with the glaze). Having used detergent in the past to modify paint consistency, I'd worry that it might remain soluble and rub off, or you'd have to apply a strong varnish on top.

That said, it might look absolutely superb for creating lava effects on larger surfaces, especially if you could apply various shades or use a polyshade paint in the appropriate colours.
