	Taj Mahal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lower walls of the tomb are white marble dados that have been sculpted with realistic bas relief depictions of flowers and vines.
		The inlay stones are yellow marble, jasper and jade, levelled and polished to the surface of the walls.
		The white marble was brought from Rajasthan, the jasper from Punjab and the jade and crystal from China.

	Marble
		Although marble comes from limestone, the temperatures and pressures necessary to form marble usually destroy any fossils that may have been present in the limestone.
		For example, Tennessee Marble[?] is really a massive, highly fossiliferous gray to pink to maroon Ordovician dolostone[?], known as the Holston Formation[?] by geologists.
		In folklore, marble is associated with the astrological sign of Gemini.

		Study the surface you're marbling to decide which direction the veining would logically go and then lightly draw the tip of the feather in a wavy line across it, twirling it just a bit as you go to vary the width of the line, and tapering it off lightly at the end.
		Use watery paint and paint the three sections dark to medium to light, keeping water nearby to further soften the boundaries.
		After that is dry, paint on light veining in white and the lightest shade of your base color and dark veining in darker shades.

	Texturing Marble (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Marble is a little more tricky than the previous two techniques I've showed you and requires a little bit of practice to master, but the effect is well worth if, especially if you’re working with other-wise, plain large surfaces that need jazzing up (walls, floors, columns, altars, etc).
		Technique-wise, painting marble is similar to the technique for making granite from my last article; both require that you add texture to the stone using tools, though with marble it’ll be a sponge, and not a toothbrush, that I use.
		Marble usually has these threads of colored rock running trough it; to simulate this on miniatures, I’ll mix up the appropriate color of paint (in this case white), with the same amount of gloss medium as I used in the green paints.

	Resene Paints Information - Paint Effects
		Paint effects are designed for durability giving you confidence that the look you painstakingly create will continue to look good.
		As with Paint Effects Medium, paint finishes are obtained by the contrast of a tinted basecoat and Scumbling Glaze.
		The effect is achieved by using a bunched rag or cloth that is rolled or dabbed over the still wet medium, leaving random patterns as it distempers the surface.

	Paint Effects
		If you are creating the effect using the current colour on the wall as your background, all you will need to do is give the surface a good clean with sugar soap.
		Of all the broken colour effects, sponging is probably the simplest, especially if you use the positive approach (adding the paint to the surface, rather then removing it) Sponging with two colours looks best if the top colour is the lighter (paler) of the two.
		For a softer effect, it is possible to apply the sponged effect onto a wet background.

		Purchase a sea sponge from a paint, hardware or bed-and-bath store (they're not cheap, but they are reuseable: make sure you rinse your sponge out well when you're done, and you'll be able to use it over and over).
		(One of my favorite combinations for green marble is jade green for the medium, dark green and flat fl for the dark, and a very light sea-green for the light.) Find a piece of real marble, or gather some color photos to study the play of colors and veining.
		Rotate your sponge and vary both the amount of paint on the sponge and the pressure as you apply it to avoid a repetitive pattern.
