"Viscosity was created because it’s beautiful, relaxing, and turns anyone into an abstract artist.

When I first created the prototype for viscosity, I became totally engrossed. I'd find myself wasting time at work with it (sorry Martijn), and it would often catch the eye of people walking by in my hallway. I thought if my co-workers found it so compelling, the rest of the world would probably enjoy it too."

Viscosity has a cool artistically simple interface that makes a statement. The project is well explained and there are many example that help new users understand how to use the application. It is nice that people can choose to stay anyonomous if they are not confident in their pieces or if they prefer privacy. Viscosity gives people the ability to be creative and have fun.

Viscosity is very creative, but it might not appeal to many people who would prefer to use simple art applications of photoshop. Viscosity could include general information on abstract art.
