Water colors in a new and improved way, new, at least to me.

Excellent find.

This could be fun to play with , but Id rather just use photo shop.

seems like this guy has produced pretty boring images need sumone like that etchascetch guy who can take a limited method of producing images like this and make somethign truly epic with it.

this would be realy good for kids though and fun to play with

Thought it was pretty cool until I saw the final image when he transferred it to paper, then it was pretty damn impressive. Never heard of this before, good find!

I think hes actually using oil paint, on water. Since oil does not mix with water he's able to manipulate it like that and it wont turn into a giant mix of colors. Thats my guess anyway.

edit - After watching a second video of him, I dont think that is water. It seems more viscous than water. As he moves his tools through the solution, there are no ripples or anything like you would see in water. I think its this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizing

This fellow needs a mirror above his workspace.

Every time I try to hang one of these on the wall I end up grabbing the mop...

Fail again. I was trying to be germanely humorous.

In fact, I find your observations to be penetrating and provocative.

This, cloud art, originated in Turkey and spread throughout the Empire. It is also known as marbling art or marbling paper.

The medium is floating paints on oil covered water, so everyone is right.

Yeah, I thought he had flicked oil on the water to start with -- the first thing he did. You can see what looks like an oil slick, that rainbow effect that oil on water gives.
