Sammy,

Do yourself a favor and buy "Magic Water" from www.unrealdetails.com.

It's a really great product.

You can thank me later.;););)

Paint the banks brown or tan, the river bed forest green and add a blended black stripe down the middle for depth.

The more depth you want , the more black paint closer to the shore.

It's just too easy.

This is one I'm doing for the Battle of Monongahela.

Waiting on some more trees.

I tried some close ups of the small river to give you an idea of the coloring, but, it's in the garage right now and the pictures didn't come out too good.

I have not painted the banks yet in this photo.

Hope you can get some idea though.

Good luck.
