How to paint a realistic wave using Water Mixable Oil Paints

Our friends at Mont Marte have put together this amazing water mixable oil painting tutorial, teaching us how to paint a realistic wave using Mont Marte H20 Water Mixable Oil Paints. 

So what is water mixable oil paint, and how does it work?

Water mixable oil paint (also called "water soluble") is a modern variety of oil paint engineered to be thinned and cleaned up with water, meaning there's no need for the use of chemicals such as turpentine, whose fumes may be harmful if inhaled.

Water mixable oil paint can be mixed and applied using the same techniques as traditional oil-based paint, but while still wet it can be effectively removed from brushes, palettes, and rags with ordinary soap and water., making it great for students and beginners, or artists looking for a safer alternative to traditional oil paints.

This tutorial is a great introduction to oil painting without the use of solvents, and the end result is pretty incredible if we do say so ourselves.
