Have fun while creating amazing colorful shapes and figures on paper using the magical power of the water marbling painting technique! Play with paint and water effortlessly, and let your imagination lead you to surprising results. The dance of colors on the water surface brings pure joy and creativity – and you don’t even need to know how to draw.
Each painting station is shared by two participants, fostering mutual learning and collaboration. No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore! After an hour of painting, we shift into a fun social painting game, where participants rotate stations and collectively create, culminating in a final group artwork that embodies shared creativity.
Beyond painting, the workshop is about connection, teamwork, and play, leaving participants feeling meditative, free, and inspired—a true creative escape.

What is water marbling or ebru?
An ancient art form that originated in Central Asia and traveled along the Silk Road to present-day Turkey. It has traditionally been used for decorating letters, book covers, and documents.
Using brushes made of horsehair, prepared pigments are dripped onto the surface of thickened water. The floating pigments are then shaped with various tools, creating unique abstract patterns that are carefully transferred to an absorbent surface, such as paper or fabric.
Tsvetomir Iliev is a self-taught artist with many years of experience in painting. He specializes in the technique of painting on water – Ebru. He has facilitated numerous workshops both nationally and internationally.
