Genuinely, what a creative and cheap way to make this work! I followed the steps to make a little river scene, and i was skeptical at first, but it worked so well! Especially for me, who has absolutely no experience with painting or crafts. I love that the barrier of entry is so low, and it even looks good without liquitex! Thank you for demonstrating this technique ^_^
I'm so glad the video was helpful and easy to follow. It is amazing how accessible a lot of crafting items can be when you know what tools and processes to use. Really happy I learned the technique from the Marklin of Sweeden channel.
Thanks for sharing, I will try this. To answer your question, I'd like to see how to give the water more actual depth. Like a half inch or more of perhaps clear resin, so you can have debri sticking out of the water, and even fish 🐟 inside the water swimming.
Thanks Chuck! I do think it would be easy enough to add debris sticking up through the service with this technique, but agreed resin would be needed to add in fish and other visible objects under the surface. Will keep in mind for future videos
If you're going to use resin (hopefully tinted from dark in the lower layers through to transparent in the topmost) - then toilet paper trick doesn't work. Either JUST use resin or JUST use the toilet paper trick...they don't play well together...you'd just get underwater waves. What resin does is to bring depth - and what toilet paper brings is large, impressive, 3D waves. For SMALL scale dioramas where you need puddles and small ponds and such - use resin. For large area ocean effects - use the toilet paper trick.
Thanks for watching! Yes, you can use silicone or resin for a water effect as well, but I like this in situations where you don't need the water to be transparent. Plus, this isn't toxic or nearly as messy which is a plus!
Very nice I like it... I love landscape modelling and also water effects.. I have subscribe your Chanel. Sorry my Englisch I am from Switzerland... Greetings from Switzerland Alex 😊😊👍👍👍🇨🇭🇨🇭
Gloss/Lustre ModPodge produces the same effect as Liquitex at a fraction of the price...I usually apply multiple thick coats to get more "depth" to the gloss.
Think I’m going to try this. Wondering if it will work with a golden paint application for the water (want to make a golden lagoon from Transformers)??
Yeah - definitely better than hot glue. Particularly because you have a MUCH longer working time to push the waves around with a brush. I use 50/50 water and latex glue for sticking down the tissue - and it takes a couple of days to fully set - so you can futz with the waves for HOURS...then paint, then get as much gloss onto it as you possibly can!
You're absolutely right. I learned how to do this and loved it so I wanted to try it myself. I've updated the video description to credit him for the technique. I thought I had done that apologies!
This is great Vasco!
Thank you 😁 appreciate the support!

wow really impressive- will do for my next water effect. new to this group- have you done mountains yet? if not can you do one in the future? thanks!
So cool!! Love seeing what goes into making these pieces after seeing the final product. Great work
Thanks Justin!
Fantastic tutorial. I plan to use it in the future. Thanks
Thanks Steve! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

très bon tutoriel, merci ! Je vais surement employée cette méthode dans mes prochains dioramas.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed
WOW! Thanks so much : )
Happy to help! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video.
This is so cool! Loved it!
Thank you! 😁
Awesome tutorial dude!
Thanks Noah!!!! Appreciate you watcing, dude
Love this
Thank you! Appreciate you watching and leaving a comment
Totally dig all your work. I would love to see an alien landscape plant. Either mech or organic
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words and the idea. Trying to do more tutorials this year
Jolie rendue on peut aussi utiliser du silicone transparent ça fonctionne aussi 😉👍

That's great to know, Steve! The Liquitex certainly isn't cheap, so I may have to try that when I run out. Thanks for watching.

Awesome! I think it could as long as you use a variety of shades and blend the colors. Thanks for watching 😁
could clear modpdgebe used as the final layer after the paint instead of liquitex?
You could try it, but I will say the Liquitex to me has a more realistic wet look once dry
Thanks for this i always wanted to try water. I was going to try hot glue, but this is a even better option.👍
You're welcome Bruce! Thanks for being a constant supporter of the channel. Glad it is helpful 👍
You're welcome, thank you for you're inspiration .
