How to Paint an Underwater Ocean Scene in Oils: Oil Painting Time Lapse

This painting time lapse shows the process of creating my new large underwater oil painting "Tranquility", inspired by my Florida friend photo.
Please note: any paintings created using my tutorials are not viable to sell. This is a copyright issue.
The original water painting measures 48x48 inches and is in a private collection now.
Here I offer an insight into my technique and hope that all my artist-friends will find it useful or at least entertaining. I strongly urge you not to make copies of this painting for commercial use (as it is copyrighted) but you're most welcome to try out some techniques I taught myself over the years. I used the following colors to create this underwater painting: titanium white, phthalo blue, viridian, burnt umber, Payne's gray and Naples yellow, . I also used Liquin as a medium.
This painting took me 3 sessions x 4 hours and I let it dry a week in between them.

Eva Volf+ Thank you for teaching us your skills with detailed info. Much appreciated. Some artists only show time lapse videos and no explanations and when you ask them they do not respond or give very little away; in my opinion, they are insecure people. Other artists like yourself, find fulfillment in teaching others, which shows confidence and generosity of spirit.

That was the most relaxing art tutorial I have watched, I felt like I was under the water with you whilst you painted it. Looking forward to the large seascape now.

Your studio is ridiculously clean. Makes me nervous.

[@graemetimoney7002]

Please Eva ,consider making more of these longer films and also with commentary , so that we can have a better understanding of your techniques. I love watching you create your beautiful seascapes .

Foreshortening and perspective are so important in art to create depth and space in a two dimensional flat surface. Great work Eva.
