I want shallow water actually. I was thinking about doing the front rank in water (on a beach) and the second rank half water, half sand, then the back rank completely on sand.

Here are a few trials I did with water bases.

Click the image to open in full size.

The one on the left is sand then pva/blue ink which I think looks the best (though still not great). On the top side of it I used less ink, the bottom side came out way too dark. But even the left side is fairly dark.

The middle one is painted like the wave then blue ink/pva, again the right side is darker.

And the right one is straight pva/blue ink on the black base, didn't work at all.

Thoughts?
