🦈 Whale Shark – Vibrant Watercolor Art Print by Coloring Laura

This whale shark was a special request from my husband, a dive instructor who wanted to see one painted in my style. I used real-life spot patterns and slowly built them up in watercolor layers, creating depth and movement in cool blue-green tones.
 
Part of the same coral-and-starfish series as Ray and Double Ray, it pairs beautifully with those designs — or with Awesome Together, which features a whale shark and ray together. Calm and detailed, this piece adds a peaceful yet eye-catching touch to any ocean-inspired space.
 
Painted alongside: Ray, Double Ray, Awesome Together
Pairs well with:  Green Turtle in Blue Ocean, Orange Turtle in Purple Ocean, Purple Turtle in Green Ocean

✨ More About the Design:
My work is inspired by Aruba’s marine life and natural light. I don’t paint exactly what I see — I paint how it feels. Layer by layer, I use watercolor to shape space, movement, and emotion. Each print has depth, contrast, and small details that reveal themselves the longer you look.
 
Every print is made in small runs and packed with care — ready to brighten your walls or gift to someone who loves color, nature, or the sea.
