Description Marbling inks experiment
Here I did an experiment on marbling inks. Such a wonderful medium technique.

Hey there! It's been lovely viewing your many ink experiments, and this one is no exception. I really love the range of colors you're playing with. Even though you have colors that contrast, mainly the deep red and the green, this piece looks harmonious, in an almost psychedelic way. I think my favorite part of the piece is the area in the middle, where you get the incredibly thin red streaks and the blue intertwines with the yellow to create a series of almost scales. the intricacy and busyness of this area is really fabulous and manages to have a lot happening without being overwhelming.
My only two critiques are the following:
1.) I'm a little bit confused by the large black splotch on the bottom right. I see you have smaller ones scattered throughout the piece, which offer a nice balance, but this one throws me off a little bit, mainly because of the size and that the other darker spots appear to be dark blue while this one appears to be black. For me, this area was a little bit distracting and therefore detracted from the impact of this piece.
2.) I really like how crisp it looks zoomed out, but as you go in to take a closer look, the lines get fuzzier and fuzzier. I would probably just suggest restricting how large you can make the image to give off the best quality.

But as always, lovely lovely work!

I really love the feeling I get from this piece. It draws me in and keeps me captivated. The lines and color combinations work well and I think it had a harmonious balance to it that I can't adequately explain. I especially enjoy the contrast of cream white and bright pink in the upper right corner. I'm wondering how you create art like this? Do you know of a website that explains this technique?

Thank you for your interest,I create this work simply dripping marbling inks on water, using a comb to direct the flow of the inks and then it will eventually achieve the swirling pattern spontaneously , you can visit my group marbling inks [link] to see more such artworks.
