Good find Hisham.

I like that he used some music from Halo.

I haven't actually used that oatmeal & CA mixture (breakfast of champions! ). I usually use good old Celluclay airbrushed water shades, and brushed over with gloss acrylic paste - thick or thin paste depending on what kind of water surface I want. The thick paste can be teased up into breaking wave tops. Artist's acrylic pastes (Liquetex, etc., or store brands) are available from artist supply shops.
