88, thanks. 
biL, I believe you are right. Needs some brown in the mix. I'm not quite convinced that using the foam surface as the base for the water is the proper thing to do. Last night, on the third coat, as it was drying, there were four places where the almost dryed paint bubbled up and pulled away from the surface, spots about as big as the end of your finger. I quickly poked a hole in each spot and pressed it down. This morning, it all looked fine and when I sanded it, the spots didn't come loose. I just got through putting on another coat.
I wonder if the little spots were possibly from oils off my fingertips? Then I got to worrying, maybe the foam is doing some kind of "gassing"? One more thing to worry about! I went to sleep last night wondering if I would have to strip off the whole messand start over.
