"West Coast" Oil painting progression

This is a 10 step oil painting progression video of the Oregon coast. It documents only 10 of the numerous transitions a painting goes through to reach completion. In the middle stages of the video there may not seem to be any real changes going on but there are many subtle shifts happening within the landscape. If you keep an eye on the far left rock in the water you will notice by the end it has been intentionally moved more to the right to produce a more pleasing composition.
