    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

    The use of the foil is a cracking technique. Looks far more controllable than trying with a gel.

    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.
