How to use this prompt

The instant the paper touches the size is the only frame that explains marbling, so the prompt lowers the sheet onto the floating ink rather than showing a finished sheet. The raked feathered pattern must be named with two or three colours or the model muddies them into brown. A marbling comb resting on the tray edge is the tool that made the pattern and signals the process. Even studio light is chosen because a raking light would put a sheen on the liquid and hide the design. Keep the tray shallow and the size surface unbroken except where the paper lands.

Variations to try
