Underpainting WS Realistic Water?

Post by bonnjer »

I've never used Woodland Scenic's Realistic Water, so I'm not sure exactly how to get a proper underpainting on it. I'm going for a murky, swamp water type of water. The problem is that this stuff dries clear allowing you to see the painted bottom very easily. Can the liquid in the bottle be tinted before being poured so that it will be murky instead of clear? Anybody who's used this stuff hopefully will know something on it. Thanks!

Perhaps thin coats covered by translucent layers of paint? Starting with a murky brown, lightening to bluish clear? You can even embed logs, fish etc.
