You can see in the second photo at the bottom right, this batch come out a more liquid-y than usual, and it dried to an almost white color. Same for the area at the left side too. So I'll probably go over it with a thin layer of another batch to get a better color. But so far I'm still liking it. Just need to make sure I keep the measurements consistent from now on. No more eyeballing the water :) One thing I think I’m beginning to notice is the more watery the batch, the lighter in color is dries.

The more I see you use that Woodland Scenics product, the more I think I'll give it a try when the time comes. Looks great.
