Water and Trees I looked into using the acrylic gloss finish medium for water. A good sized jar of it was less than $3 bucks at the art store and it paints on real easy and allows lots of control. I think I must have put on 4 or 5 coats of the stuff by now and I am very pleased with the...

Trestle bridge I also finished this trestle that will be in the swamp with the cypress trees. Any ideas on the best way to work the piers into the base. The water is painted but not coated with any "water" process, just basic paint. The piers will be sitting on a cross member at the water...
