Karin Pinselborsten (100g.) Die Ebru-Kunst ist eine traditionelle türkische Kunstform, bei der Muster mit speziellen Farben auf die Wasseroberfläche aufgetragen und dann auf Papier übertragen werden. Eines der wichtigsten Werkzeuge dieser Kunst ist der Ebru-Pinsel. Traditionell wird der Ebru-Pinsel aus Pferdeschweifhaar hergestellt. Es gibt mehrere wichtige Gründe, warum Pferdehaar ausgewählt wird. Pferdehaar ist wasserbeständig und seine flexible Struktur ermöglicht es, die Farbe präzise auf die Wasseroberfläche zu übertragen. Außerdem hilft die natürliche Struktur des Pferdehaars, die Farbe gleichmäßig und glatt zu verteilen. Der Pinselstiel wird meist aus Rosenholz gefertigt, da Rosenholz leicht und langlebig ist. In der Hand des Künstlers bewegt sich der Pinsel wie ein Zauberstab; die Muster erwachen auf der Wasseroberfläche zum Leben. Der Ebru-Pinsel ist eines der wichtigsten Werkzeuge, mit dem der Künstler seinen kreativen Ausdruck auf das Wasser überträgt. Die Qualität und die richtige Auswahl der in der Ebru-Kunst verwendeten Pinsel spielen eine entscheidende Rolle für den Erfolg des entstehenden Kunstwerks. Aus diesem Grund werden die Materialien, die bei der Herstellung des Ebru-Pinsels verwendet werden, mit großer Sorgfalt ausgewählt und verarbeitet.

Thickening Agents Thickening Agents Thickening agents prevent colors in Ebru art from sinking to the bottom of the water and allow the colors to spread on the water surface. These substances increase the viscosity of the water in the marbling tray, helping the colors adhere easily to the paper. Thickening agents are divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural thickening agents are obtained from tragacanth roots or Irish moss (carrageenan) and are used in powder form. Since sheet tragacanth requires labor-intensive preparation, natural substances such as seaweed and powdered tragacanth are more commonly preferred. Carrageenan provides successful results in Ebru art and positively affects the appearance of colors. Synthetic thickening agents are also used, with some artists using materials such as wallpaper paste. However, this method can cause colors to lose their vibrancy and lead to cracks in patterns. How to Prepare Thickening Agent (Powdered Tragacanth)? Since there are different types and qualities of thickening agents, the appropriate measurements may vary for each product. It is generally prepared by mixing it with hot or lukewarm water. For example, 4-5 grams of thickening agent should be added to 1 liter of water and stirred well until fully dissolved. Storing the prepared thickened water in a cool environment or adding a preservative helps delay spoilage.

Marbling Awl for Floral Patterns Marbling sticks and awls are metal rods attached to a wooden handle, with varying tip thicknesses. After dropping the colors onto the surface, the needle is lightly dipped into the color and moved like a pen to create patterns. Our handmade floral awls make it easier to draw flower designs. They are used to create different flowers and allow the formation of various petal counts. The awl is dipped into the appropriate color and placed into the water. Then, a regular awl is used to close the "colorless gap" in the center. Finally, the desired color is applied to the center, completing the flower. This process can save up to 100 individual steps. The thickness of the needle and the arrangement of the needles may vary depending on the awl. Below, you can see examples created with 4-needle and 5-needle awls: We dip the awl into the color and then into the design. We fill the empty space in the center. We fill the center of the flower with the desired color.

Marbling Brush with Horsehair and Rosewood Handle The Ebru artist makes their own brush. The simple ingredients for this are horsehair for the brush and rosewood for the handle. Horsehair is particularly suitable because it is hard and straight. It is also more resistant to the formation of bacteria and fungi. Rosewood is a particularly elastic wood that vibrates with each stroke over the water. This makes it easier and softer to sprinkle the colors. Over time, the tips of the brush soften in the paint containers, optimizing the sprinkling process. The hairs are attached to the rosewood with Perlon thread. The bristles consist of horsehair. This brush has been specially developed for mixing Ebru paints, but can also be used alternatively for sprinkling Ebru paints.

Bovine Gall Used in Ebru Art Ebru art is a traditional decorative technique in which paints are sprinkled onto water and shaped using special techniques. One of the most important materials in this art is bovine gall. Bovine gall is a natural additive that allows Ebru paints to spread on the water’s surface without mixing and forming distinct patterns. The Role of Bovine Gall in Ebru Art Bovine gall regulates the consistency and fluidity of Ebru paints, helping the artist create desired patterns on the water surface. Ebru paints contain natural pigments and are usually water-based. However, a special liquid is needed to ensure these paints spread evenly on the surface. This is where bovine gall comes into play. Bovine gall reduces surface tension, making it easier for the paints to expand. It also allows different colors to layer and form desired patterns. How is Bovine Gall Obtained? Bovine gall is a natural liquid extracted from the gallbladders of cattle. It is purified using traditional methods and made suitable for Ebru art. Before use, it is fermented for a certain period to enhance its effectiveness. Usage of Bovine Gall In Ebru art, bovine gall is usually added separately to each paint color. The ratio varies depending on the type of paint and the desired effect. Overuse can cause excessive spreading of the paint. Conclusion Bovine gall is one of the indispensable components of Ebru art and plays a crucial role in traditional Ebru techniques. Being a natural substance, it adds an organic touch to the art and allows paints to move more controllably on the water surface.
