VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This canvas painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this beautiful seascape image of "MERMAID TROPICAL OASIS". Who hasn’t dreamt of sitting on a beach in some secluded tropical oasis watching a beautiful sunset resting behind an endless horizon while listening to the sounds of the ocean? And guess what? Mermaids do too! Although mermaids occasionally surface for their own amusement to peek at the intrepid surfer, sailor, or fisherman, they spend most of their lives underwater hanging out with the local marine life avoiding detection and evading capture, which, unfortunately, doesn’t bode well for those fish ladies who wish to enjoy something simple, like watching a sunset while relaxing in a tub on a beach. In this fun and easy art tutorial, you'll learn simple painting techniques that will help you to develop great dimension and realistic elements to your mystical maiden fairy goddess oceanic lady-of-the-sea who is sitting in a vintage clawfoot cast iron bathtub on the shallow edge of the ocean. In this easy painting, you'll also learn how to paint the sun setting or rising with an easy gradient process to add atmospheric dimension, as well as wet glistening beach sand with a blended layering technique. Glimmering reflections will play a key role in the three-dimensional effect of the tub and the water with shadows and highlights added in the right places to provide an additional element realism like a photograph. You'll learn to add form and shape on the sea nymph’s head and hair which will all be finalized with small details of sunlit strands of hair showing the movement, direction and volume of her long locks. Customize your ocean lady and choose whether you want curly, straight, blond or black hair or if you want your fin to be pink or blue. Just have fun painting this nautical image that represents the free spirit of the fish female who is enjoying some well-deserved R&R under the tall, silhouetted tropical trees. Put her in a hot tub, porcelain tub, or a tub in the shape of a seashell if you want. You'll learn how to create reflections in the rippling waves with tastefully placed complimentary colors from the surrounding objects. Finish this fantasy vacation destination off by adding palm fronds and wild beach grass with just a few strokes of dark and rich colors. This is an easy painting for beginners, with a stunning sunset painting image of a mystical sea creature will make you want to purchase a tub and bring it to your next beach vacation so you too can bask in an enchanting magical ocean world. Using only 3 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece with a magnificent moment in time that you may find is inspirational, reflective and relaxing. Not just a sunset painting, and not just a beautiful painting, but the perfect canvas painting for beginners, so, let's get painting and let's get sipping!
