I love his paintings, although I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

Essentially it was a bucket that would swirl the water in it, and various fast setting acrylic paints which you pour into the bucket of swirling water - and ostensibly you dipped whatever you wanted into the bucket of swirling water with swirling acrylics, instant Pollock coating on whatever you cared to dip. I see these pickups closed very high, highest I've seen for a used pair of J type activators. elwoodblue Advanced Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 381 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 24, 2008 - 3:27 pm:    ...marbling/ebru one of the highest arts in my eyes. suminagashi is the japanese style of doing that with inks... ...there's a couple of neat vids on youtube I've seen. The dutch had some masters hundreds of years ago...no acrylics back then tho.
