Beginner Tips for Painting Figures in Oil

In this oil painting demonstration I paint a beach scene depicting two figures, a mom and her daughter, striding through shallow waves on a bright sandy beach. The ocean background is painted simply and with soft light colors. Every brushstroke is captured in this relaxing painting tutorial, most of it is compressed in time lapse so you can watch it under 10 minutes. I cover the step by step process of how to paint figures, the ocean background, and how to make it all look realistic.
