Zohra Zarougui comes from Africa. She is a painter. She applies a special style of painting. It is called Ebru.

    Ebru has a long history. Artists first used it in the 15th century. Then it spread to other countries and became popular quickly.

    Ebru is very different from other ways of painting. First, you need to pour oily (含油的) water into a pan. And then you should put different dyes (染料) in it. They change the color of the water. They make beautiful patterns. Finally, you put paper or cloth on it. The patterns move to the paper or cloth.

    Ebru is difficult for people to learn, so Zohra spent many years in another country learning it.
