Seeking hand painted water guidance!

Hello!

Im trying to hand paint a tileable water texture but its really hard making it look like water. I would really like to learn some tricks for making good looking water!

Well, it really depends on the style...

LMP's right. Depending on what style you're going for, achieving water could be as easy as painting it. But in most cases, there's a lot of shader trickery you'll need to do. Water's rarely something you can just hand-paint.
