Best Answer

I have found watercolor paper to be very good for marbling, because it remains strong when wet. The only drawback I have found is its thickness, which can be a disadvantage in some of the traditional uses of marbled paper such as endpapers in books. If the marbled paper will be freestanding, such as for a greeting card, watercolor is a good choice, but if you plan to glue the marbled paper to another surface, and especially if you will have to fold it, look for a thinner paper.
