More help -- painting streams

[max]

More help, fellow Lead Adventurers!
I'm in the process of test painting a stream section, a shallow one most likely in a wooded area. I was going to paint it blue, but i suddenly remembered 'streams aren't blue!'. I've tried a test, using browns of various shades and a coat of PVA,



Ok, i haven't got an updated photo because i can't find the camera, just wondering if anyone had tried something similar/knowns a useful link.

Thanks

Max, colours-wise it looks like any number of rivers and streams I have fished over more than thirty years, so I'd say its fine for that. All I would say is that it looks "too" shallow, even for a shallow section. More PVA, maybe?

Yacht varnish is your friend, and plenty of it 

Thin coats though or you'll get it wrinkled when it dries, five to eight will do the trick.
