Here's my first attempt at a seascape. An old CD with green and blue acrylic paint, followed by a smear of some wave making stuff (glorified PVA I suspect).

The white bits are not quite dry yet.

If it is a Liquitex then it is a 'glorified PVA' just as you said. :) For all its toy-like look when you first revealed it, it actually looks amazing after your treatment.

Well Done ! The CD seems to impart a spinning motion to the ship ...

Great work on a kit that could easily be swallowed whole by the Carpet Monster, never mind a Sea Monster! :-D

It was a nice little model to practise paint and wash techniques on. I might get another in the series.
