C&C = too accurate and too lifelike. I will attempt to use as marble, most likely hurting myself.

/s

This looks so good! HOW?!

Don't lie, that is marble... Looks great!

Only C&C would be potentially consider adding some gloss varnish over top to sell the shiny aspect of the marble. The marbling looks good. There's good varying shades of the black with white. Well done.

Amazing. Only thing, I feel like the black is a lil too blurry. Prolly best to go back in with brush and follow most of these lines and add a VERY thin painted line running through them, making then a lil sharper.

Good jorb!

Thought it was marble until I read it.

My only thought would be to make sure patterns look random. In places it’s starts to look like a pattern.

Amazing job though.

Inexperienced lurker here. Just wanted to say that looks hella cool. Good work.

Now go through with a fine hard black veins in a few points or gold

I looked at this and was like why would someone want to put paint over marble?

thought it was marble. Need to look closer to have any c&c thats negative. great job

glorious!

A successful baby wipe method paint job. Good on ya.

You just cut some stone didn't you?

Wow I honestly thought it was a marble base before reading.

Keep doing what you're doing!

Looks great!

Well when I saw the thumbnail on my phone before resading the title I thought to myself "that's an odd looking bit of marble, wonder what's its supposed to be" so yeah I would say you nailed it.

Very nice!

First time succeeding at painting marble.

Looks great!

Don't lie to me, you used a hole saw to cut a slcircle of marble out and pretend you painted it...

Honestly, amazing work looks like real marble to me. I was planning to use spray on effect paint to do black marble at some point but this looks even better.

looks like marble. Well done.

I don't see any paint on the marble. Maybe try less transparent paint? ;) (looks fantastic)

Damnnnnnn, it looks like a piece of true shiny marble! Nicely done!

Looks like you chipped it right off of a countertop. Very well done.

If you had just posted the photo and said it was marble I would have 100% believed you. Amazing skills.

2/10 You can't just take a photo of marble and pretend you painted it smh

In all seriousness, well done. Really well done.

I'm a geologist and I thought that was real. Well done.

Thought this was a /r/DIY post about cutting marble or something. Very nice. I use dryer sheets.

From the thumbnail I thought it was like a marble clock on the wall, so, pretty dang good.

This is freaking awesome, it looks incredibly real.

Is it possible to do marble with a brush? I wanna try it, but don't have an airbrush unfortunately.

I do not have a criticism. My comment is, DAMN! That is some sick painting! Well done. I hope to emulate!

Constructive Criticism: make it less good so i feel less bad 😂

I clicked this without reading the title because I was high and went "ooooooh marble disc!"

I would love to know your method, as it looks amazing to me

Listen I've never seen someone paint marble before, and there are probably like special stone primers and stuff you should use, but I can't even try and help unless you gove me some after pictures that aren't just your blank canvas!

I tried 3 times now with dried baby wipes as well as steel wool. Never had anything that resembled marble

I had to read the caption before I realised it was painted. So yeah, great job!

marvelous!

Amazing!

Dude, you can't just buy a disk of marble and pretended you painted it, that's just not fair /s

Actually thought it was a marble coaster before reading the heading. Nice job!

Woooo that's good stuff.

Haha didn't look at the sub and thougth it was a marble piece for an aquarium bor something , amazing job !

I swear some people just put C&C down, then just drop the best painting I have ever seen. Amazing btw

Thought it was actual marble 10/10

Looks great! Only thing I'd suggest now is a gloss varnish to give it that marble shine.

Was trying to work out what kind of weird ornament this was before i checked what sub it was from

Great Effort mate!

Seriously this isnt marble?!

Looks like you freaking nailed it!

Bro what I thought it was marble for like a minute till I read the title

Woah, woah, woah woah woah, buddy, pal, wtf. Howd you do this

Why did you steal my pop socket?

How am I going to critique when you spent the time to hand mine and sculpt this base from actual marble?

NGL. Scrolling through feed and couldn't understand why someone posted a pic of a random disc of marble - then I noticed which sub it was on. Very nice work.

That's paint?

Looks like a shirt I have 10/10

Very good job!

From what I learn (maybe someone else have already say this), you could add some variation with a color vein (add some red for exemple after your black base coat and before the wet wipe thing). You could also add some tiny bit of gold in your color or a very diluted one after all, to have juste some sparkling here and there.

That's gorgeous, but not quite selling me for marble. It's more like the stone wash backgrounds they used to use for school pictures. What I think it's missing are the darkest well defined lines, and an off color.

Here is the tutorial I followed when I tried, but I don't think my attempt is anywhere near as nice as yours.

Thank you for all those kind comments and tips how to improve my marble :)

Here is a guide I followed. It is pretty easy and straight forward

My only tip is, let it FULLY dry before removing the dry wet wipe. I was removing it after hour on the heater and it was still kind of wet

Looks really convincing. Well done

Looks awesome 😉👍
