The water is part me, and part sargentx. I made the basic water shape including the swell, from Celluclay, to a depth of about 1 cm. (this takes several days to dry!). Then brushed with acrylic gel, and sprinkled bran on top. When dry, stuck on bits of paper towel, and smoothed out with more gel. When dry, airbrushed shades of blue, followed by several coats of clear ultra gloss acrylic gel, or varnish. The more coats, the better, as it gives the illusion of depth. (ie; don't paint the surface of the water after final varnish - paint first, then add varnish).
