Painting Water
by Phoebe Sonder
30+ lessons -Â a step-by-step approach to painting from a self-taught painter.
"Artists Are Born, Not Made." —That’s a Myth.
✨ Maybe you think artists who paint oceans and waves are just naturally gifted.
✨ Maybe it looks like they effortlessly capture light, movement, and reflections.
✨ Maybe you’ve told yourself, “I just can’t paint water.”
But here’s the truth: painting water is a observation skill, not magic.
What you admire in others comes from practice, patience, and learning how to truly see what’s happening on the surface.
You don’t need to be a “natural” to start. You just need guidance, observation, and the willingness to try.
In this course, I’ll guide you step by step – from understanding the basics to creating your own finished water painting. The way light breaks across a wave, the pull beneath the surface, the moment before a curl falls. Once you can read it, you can paint it.
Most painters look at water and see a reference. This course teaches you to look and understand it.
Hey, I'm Phoebe!
A contemporary artist inspired by the landscapes of New England. I studied at Pratt Institute in New York, but my journey with painting has been mostly self-taught—shaped through independent study and learning directly from other artists.
My work is deeply focused on water. I don’t approach it just as something to replicate, but as something to understand—almost like studying it through a scientific and sculptural lens. What fascinates me most is how light moves across it.
The ocean, especially, never stays the same. It’s constantly shifting—light, reflection, movement—never fully settling. And that’s exactly what keeps me coming back to paint it.

Imagine Overcoming Your Fears…
🌊 You sit down to paint, relax, and begin capturing water with ease.
🌊 No more comparing your work to others—you start enjoying your own way of seeing light, movement, and color.
🌊 Each painting becomes a small exploration of depth, reflection, and the beauty of water in motion.
How does that feel?
Today, you can choose to finally explore painting water.
Working with water feeds both the mind and the eye—and now is your time to begin.
In this course, we’ll explore the tools, techniques, and mindset you need to start strong. You’ll learn how to slow down, observe carefully, and create paintings that feel both expressive and real.
I’ll be with you every step of the way. ✨
At The End Of The Course You Will Develop:
True seeing
Before a single brushstroke, you'll learn to watch water the way a painter has to: not for beauty, but for logic. What is it doing? Where is it going? Why does it move the way it moves?
Structure beneath the surface water is never random
Master the behavior of water through color, movement, and light. Build your painting step by step using techniques that bring depth and realism.
