How to Paint Marble (Trompe L’œil) — The Art League School

Painter Patrick Kirwin, an instructor at The Art League School, showed his students how to create a convincing painting of sea green marble.

Trompe L’œil, French for “fool the eye,” is a genre of painting devoted to optical illusions and realism. Patrick Kirwin painted this demo on Mylar with acrylic paints.
