Sure - I think the easiest looking way is to use varnish or laquer on top of a base coat of 'water color'.

Hi rdwng445,

I described an easy and cheap method for water a while back. Its best suited if you have side walls or something to reflect in the water.

Model your water with waves, ripples, etc. from plaster of paris, or similar, paint appropriate colors, then give several coats of artist's gloss medium. Pretty good and inexpensive effect.
