Ralph,
It has a plywood base painted with a mix of cobalt blue ,black,and thicket (which is a green colour).The water itself is Mod Podge (gloss medium).To get it to look like moving water I just pour the mod podge and brushed it forward in sort of a straight line.I may put another coat on but let itset up a bit the do the back to front brush strokes to see if I can get it looking more like moving water.
The real Grand river has a series of dams going across to lower the level asa it flows through town.I am thinking of modeling one of those dams right at the front edge.The reason for these dams was to replace the rapids ,now there is a white water group that want to bring them back.
