Painting Tropical Shallow Water in Oils

This painting demo shows how to paint realistic tropical shallow water in oils.

Please note: any paintings created using my tutorials are not viable to sell. This is a copyright issue.

For this demo I painted a version of another waterscape of mine based on the photo I took on a clear morning at Clearwater Beach, Florida.
It took me 2 sessions (a week apart) x 4 hours to paint it on a 48x24 inches canvas, here you'll see the whole process time-lapsed (because I value your time) with the most interesting moments in real time.

Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my art-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining.You're most welcome to try out the techniques I taught myself over the years. I also encourage you to go to the nearest beach and take your reference photos or videos.

For this demo I used the following colors:
titanium white, ultramarine blue, phtalo green(any green will do), Naples Yellow (cad.yellow light or medium will work, too) and burnt sienna. I also used Liquin as a medium (any oil or mineral spirits will work).
