He Pours Ink Into A Bowl… Ends Up With The Most Amazing Art I’ve Ever Seen.

Van Gogh’s “Starry, Starry Night” is arguably his masterpiece, and one of the most famous paintings in the world. It was done with oil on canvas with incredible skill — but now, one Turkish artist is taking Van Gogh’s work one step further, creating something absolutely amazing in the process. Using an ancient technique called Erbu, this artist created a new version of the Van Gogh masterpiece. Erbu involves making a canvas using water and carrageenan, a substance used to thicken the liquid. “This viscous liquid can then support the paints which I apply to the surface of the water,” he explained. Then, each layer of paint is applied by either delicately shaking droplets from a brush, or using a thin metal rod. The video that shows the process from beginning to end (which is also super relaxing to watch) has gone viral. You can see the amazing piece of art for yourself in the video below.
