FINE Marble DUST (1KG | 2.2 LBS)

Good quality marble dust. I used it for my textured art project.

I use it when I do my texture art.

This FINE Marble DUST (1KG | 2.2 LBS) is good quality. It is very fine and clean. I had never used it before, but knew It is great for many things in the art studio. Since I’ve not tried it before, I have no experience on what to expect or how it should be. It’s great to add to acrylic paintings for texture or adding volume to paints, mixing with gesso to smooth a canvas while priming, using with cold wax/oil paint for texture... and I believe there were other uses I had recently read about and knew I needed to get some. I definitely can recommend this, good addition to the studio.

Marble dust Is not white, it is not even "Off white". it is tan coloured.

The goal is to make a solvent-free oil painting medium by mixing this marble dust with linseed or walnut oil. It works okay but is a bit coarse for what I want. It feels gritty under the palette knife but smooth in the brush. However, the final effect of improving paint flow, especially when glazing, without altering the colour/value is nice. The big issue is painting marble dust is more like 3-50 microns whereas this is closer to 160. Still within range and good enough for my current skill level, but I suspect a professional would find this a bit frustrating.
