Mafic igneous rocks are a type of volcanic rock that is rich in magnesium and iron minerals. These rocks have a relatively high density and a dark color due to their high levels of these minerals. The term "mafic" is derived from the words magnesium and ferric, which refer to the magnesium and iron minerals present in these rocks. Mafic rocks are known for their dense and heavy nature. They have relatively low silica content compared to other types of igneous rocks. This low silica content means that mafic rocks have a higher melting point and are less viscous than rocks with higher silica content.
Marble sheets of blank watercolor paper with patterns that allow paper to show through. Marble over art prints to get a feel for how much to cover. Marble over maps, sheet music or pages from a book.
Day 1 MARBLING BASICS Prepare your paper, what surfaces to use plus how to apply and manipulate the paint with tools to create a variety of patterns. Day 1 MARBLING BASICS Prepare your paper, what surfaces to use plus how to apply and manipulate the paint with tools to create a variety of patterns.
This low silica content means that mafic rocks have a higher melting point and are less viscous than rocks with higher silica content. As a result, mafic lava tends to flow more easily and spread out over larger areas. Mafic rocks can be found in various places around the world, particularly in areas with volcanic activity.

3-day workshop / 10am – 4pm
$395
We’ll have 3 days to marble in my back yard! I’ll provide the supplies, including some paper, you bring blank watercolor paper, art prints, paintings you’re not happy with, maps or sheet music that you can marble. You will go home with reinvented paintings and sheets of marbled papers. This will be a FAST PACED workshop — so be prepared to move quickly. While there are many steps, marbling is easy once you learn how.
Warning: Marbling can be addictive!
Day 1
MARBLING BASICS — Prepare your paper, what surfaces to use plus how to apply and manipulate the paint with tools to create a variety of patterns. Make exciting one-of-a-kind papers for collage or experimental paintings. While the marbling process is fast and exhilarating, to master it requires learning the steps. But even on this first day you will be surprised how many papers you can make. If you know how, come with papers alum treated to begin marbling sooner.
Day 2
BEYOND BASICS — Learn to manipulate marbled patterns. Rene will demonstrate how she integrates marbling with watercolor painting. It’s easy when you know how to approach it! We’ll talk about color palette choices and how to prepare your pattern for opacity or transparency.
Marble sheets of blank watercolor paper with patterns that allow paper to show through. Marble over art prints to get a feel for how much to cover. Marble over maps, sheet music or pages from a book.
Day 3
Learn to make subtle patterns with little value change and riotous patterns full of verve. Rene will demo how she subdues a wild marbled pattern with dark watercolor paint or semi-opaque ground for watercolor, to begin integrating a painting. You may want to try this yourself.
Marble specialty papers up to a full sheet, using metallic paints or technique such as dripping paint into the pattern. Simulate water or stone. Master complex traditional patterns or experiment and make up your own. Now would be the time for marbling a 3-D object or silk scarf or cotton cloth to cover a one-of-a-kind sketchbook.

Examples of mafic rocks include basalt, gabbro, and peridotite. Basalt is the most common type of mafic rock and is often seen in volcanic regions and oceanic crust. Gabbro is typically found in oceanic crust and continental crust, while peridotite is commonly found in the Earth's mantle. Mafic rocks have a variety of uses and applications. Due to their durability and resistance to weathering, they are commonly used as construction materials, particularly in road construction and as aggregate in concrete. Basalt is also used to make statues and decorative items, as well as in the production of igneous rock wool for insulation purposes. In summary, mafic igneous rocks are a type of volcanic rock that contain high levels of magnesium and iron minerals. They have a dark color and high density, and are known for their low silica content and ability to flow easily. They are commonly found in volcanic regions and have various uses in construction and other industries..
Reviews for "Mafic Marble-like Stone: From Quarry to Finished Product"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Mafic msrbljng srt". The plot was confusing and hard to follow, and the characters were poorly developed. It felt like the film was trying to be deep and thought-provoking, but it just came across as pretentious and confusing. The dialogue was nonsensical at times, and overall, I found the whole experience to be frustrating and unsatisfying.
2. Sarah - 1 star - "Mafic msrbljng srt" was a complete waste of my time. I sat through the entire film hoping it would get better, but it never did.
