JDaddy, I start off with a dark green acrylic in the middle of the river, lake etc. with a dark blue next to the green and then lighter blues as you work towards the shore. I apply the paints when they are still wet so that they blend into each succeeding coat. When all done I used Realistic Water by Woodland Scenics...it's great stuff. I hope the pictures help. The little ripples on my river are from Water Effects also from Woodland Scenics.
