How to model a waterfall

After last week's weirs, waterfalls are nature's alternative. You can use similar techniques to the weirs but waterfalls are generally less structured so the water is more scattered.

Tools and Materials

All of these materials are commonly available in either a DIY store or art shop. Online shops will also carry them. The Amazon links are all items I have either bought or bought something similar for myself. Clicking on any links to Amazon will give me a small affiliate income which I use to produce more videos. Every little helps!

Waterfall base materials I used garden stones but you can use plaster rocks instead
Acrylic paints for the base and water. I used Tamiya brown (XF72 https://amzn.to/2NixuHf) and olive green (XF58 https://amzn.to/2MOlXCI) and Vallejo white (https://amzn.to/2Nop2qg)
Dark India Ink (https://amzn.to/2wt9fii) in Isopropyl Alcohol wash 3 teaspoons of ink to 1 pint of alcohol (https://amzn.to/2BJh6OR)
