Faux Marble Table Top
If you have a particular marble finish you wish to copy, then have a picture to hand. Paint the base coat of the marble onto the item you wish to copy it onto. Then add the under colours as they can be seen in original. Keep doing this until all shades or there, then make the fault lines with a feather dipped in paint or use a thin brush to copy what you see.

Here is a good tutorial, I use Rustoleum Countertop paint, and buy a can of the tintable base too to make your gray. I use a small foam roller for the base, and a turkey feather for the veining and a pouncing brush. I always have a pcture reference for how the client wants it too look like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wfFwvLuTso
Hello. Watching YouTube this might be the best suggestion. Using a liner paintbrush or feather is often used to do the vein painting.
Paint the surface lite gray then dribble white all over thin lines all over then do black lines you could take a sponge and blend some together
