The Serpent & The Rays
I painted this as a demo for students at a Zoom event recently and since I get a lot of questions about how I paint shallow water, here’s a step by step! It’s honestly a really fun subject to paint and pretty accessible even for people who are newer to painting environments.
If you like this type of content, I have an artbook on Kickstarter right now with tutorials just like this!

Check out the latest poster in our 50th Anniversary #SaveSpectacular poster series!
Our new poster features Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, located off the coast of Northern California. Within its 1,286 square miles, ocean conditions and undersea topography combine to fuel a rich and diverse marine community around Cordell Bank.
Take a look for yourself, and download the poster today: https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/posters/cordell-bank/
(Illustration by Matt McIntosh/NOAA. Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary is a marine oasis that protects soft seafloor habitat, a rocky bank, deep sea canyons, and communities of wildlife throughout. In the poster, the rocky bank is encrusted with colorful anemones, sponges, and corals and provides habitat for species like top snails, decorator crabs, rosy rockfish, lingcod, and giant Pacific octopus. The waters above and around the bank concentrate krill, juvenile rockfish, anchovy, and jellies attracting ocean sunfish, California sea lions, and the blue whale.)
Nothing evokes the spirit like being immersed in the ocean on sunrise.
