How to Make Water Puddles

[@SchuylkillRiverValley]

The puddles look great - very nice job! Nothing like water to bring a layout to life. Love the background. Best, John

I do a similar technique. Instead of the WS Water, I use Gloss Modge Podge, mixed with a little paint. I use a brown and black in varying amounts (very little is needed). It dries with a surface that is conforming to the surface and glossy, like a puddle. You can tone down the gloss with a chalk or even a swipe of dilute grey or brown paint, after the glue is dry.

@@solimar1554 thanks for the tip. I may try that on my next section. The WS water leaves a lot of bubbles which I did not like. I will definitely try this technique. Thanks again and much appreciated for watching.

Nice and simple way to make puddles. And that background looks fantastic! What color are you going to paint the fascia?

[@montananorthern]

@@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304 much appreciated. I am going with black. I like the way it makes the layout pop.
