Ox Gall in Ebru Art

Ebru art is a traditional decoration technique where colors are sprinkled on water and shaped using special techniques. One of the most important materials in this art is ox gall. It is a natural additive that prevents Ebru colors from mixing and instead allows them to form unique patterns on the water’s surface.

The Role of Ox Gall in Ebru Art

Ox gall regulates the consistency and flow of the colors, helping artists create their desired patterns on the water surface. Ebru paints contain natural pigments and are mostly water-based. To ensure that the colors spread evenly, a special liquid is required – this is where ox gall comes into play.

It reduces surface tension and facilitates the spreading of colors. Additionally, it allows layering of colors to create complex patterns.

How Is Ox Gall Obtained?

Ox gall is derived from the gallbladders of cattle, traditionally purified and prepared for use in Ebru art. Before use, it is fermented to enhance its effectiveness.

Usage of Ox Gall

In Ebru art, ox gall is added to each color individually. The dosage varies depending on the color and the desired effect.

Conclusion

Ox gall is an essential component of Ebru art, enabling controlled movement of colors on the water’s surface.
