The shape and pattern of water

 I have finally got to the point where I need to complete the background for the 4th plate of the first panel, which includes a depiction of the Larsen C iceberg and the Whanganui River, a river which has been granted personhood in New Zealand, thereby able to claim the same rights as humans. The wavy lines connect the 3rd and 4th panel and shift perspective from elevation to plan-view (hill becoming sea and river). I have looked at examples of water in Japanese and Chinese paintings and have just started testing alternative approaches.
