The Internet can be a powerful tool when it comes to collaborations between artists of all ilks. Laptop band Project Jenny, Project Jan harnessed said power when it set out to create a video for its new song,
“Lucky Me,” producing a lovely, painterly video courtesy of a Turkish
Ebrû artist the band had never met.
Hikmet Barutçugil redefined the aspects of Ebrû with a scientific approach and managed to transfuse marbling into other disciplines, from architecture to popular crafts.
Barutçugil, one of the most important masters of the art of marbling alive today,
in this interview, discusses the point he has arrived at in his long journey with watercolors.
In this video he demonstrates his technique. [
