What is Ebru painting?
Ebru painting is a distinctive genre of aqueous art used to produce mesmerizing works. Particularly popular in Turkey and Central Asia, Ebru paintings are produced using dyes, a water-based solution, and a set of unique tools. Ebru works of art are created by transferring designs, patterns, and motifs onto sheets of paper, fabric, and other canvases.
First, the artist mixes water with pigment and kitre, a natural gum, to produce a dye.
The dye is then added to the surface of the size, a cellulose solution, and an awl is used to manipulate the colors into designs and patterns.

Once the artist has completed this one-of-a-kind “painting” process, a sheet of paper is carefully placed on top of the size in order to transfer the image.

After the sheet is removed from the liquid, it is left to dry.
