While the main water is WS Realistic Water tinted with Delta Creamcoat craft paint, I did the final coloring with Acrylic Gloss Medium tinted with Creamcoat. A drop goes a LONG way in either medium:

Typically acrylics can be added to anything solvent based without issues, it's when you try to do the opposite you have major problems. I also add acrylics when i am mixing envrotex lite whihc I feel is the only way to go. Alo texturing IE: rocks sand and painting the riverbed or what ever body of water with paint is also a good idea.
Both epoxy and the artist's mediums like Mod Podge can be tinted with tiny amounts of acrylic paints. In the latter case, you could use a lot, but not with the epoxy. I use "tiny" in both cases because the effect of even one drop of acrylic artist's paint in, say, a half cup of Mod Podge is very heavy and dramatic. So try a half-drop, and go from there. You can always cover it with more.

I paint the surface first, then just put a thin coat of the Mod Podge gloss over it, and tease the ripples in. No tinting required.

As I understand it, Mod Podge is a form of artist's medium. As such it should be compatible with acrylic colors. I have used artist's gloss medium mixed with a little acrylic color to make a reasonable murky pond.

I tint my Envirotex water with a small amount of acrylic paint. I don't have experience with Modge Podge.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
I know some of us model water using Mod Podge. My question is, can this be tinted using acrylic paints? I would like to make murky water.
