    No resin. No plaster. No silicone. This is the best ocean technique I've seen. So simple and with stunning results

      my only critique would be that it lacks that translucent quality resin gives you - other than that, the rest of the effects like the waves and ripples are fantastic

    Thank you so much for showing me you're great artistry and model making I've been trying to figure out what to do because I broke 5 vertebrae in my neck and also my skull and some other things but now you have shown me a great tool of rehabilitation you don't know how much it means .For what I have seen it does remind me of my childhood when i used to make model Navy ships and also model aeroplanes I would hand make the engines write down to everything that I thought was necessary. But you have given me more information about true artistry. And now with this injury you have really reopened myself in my rehabilitation so I thank you for sharing and showing your art knowledge and what can be done. From the land down under Australia.

    Watching this, I'm reminded of a quote by Fr. Mulcahy on M*A*S*H (specifically from the Season 5 episode 'Exorcism'): "Wondrous is Man, and mysterious the ways of God, and I would have no-one shield my eyes from the Glory of his works." There is something inherently beautiful in watching something get created from nothing. I mean, I have seen the endresult in the thumbnail for the video, and still I'm amazed at how simple the trick actually is, and simultaneously astounded by how beautiful it looks. Genuinely, my compliments, it's utterly beautiful :)
