Galen, I just came back in from adding more color over the dark - didn't see your thread until now. I took the medium green color I had mixed for the Mykawa wood trestle bridge and added a bit of black and navy blue to darken it some. I think it is coming out okay, as I wanted the water to represent a "cleaner" water than I put on the big concrete segment bridge from the Summer Challenge. I'll put some photos up later.
Oh... I have been sanding the paint with a sheetrock sponge between coats. It changes the color from a solid one to a streaky mix of various shades of the color. I kinda like the way it looks!
Anyway, I agree, the gloss coats will change the look, what with the reflections as you mention.
