What is this technique called?

I stumbled across this and was curious as to what the technique is called and what paint it uses? http://www.key-z.com/dippedart.html

 

I do not know ... but that is awesome. Some form of oil paint i would imagine because it does not seem to mix well with the water in the bucket
