I have slightly curved my backdrops in the vertical dimension so that they overhang the scene; this way I have blue sky right up to the light fixture. I don't have any water yet, but when I do it will reflect this sky well. Plus, the bounced light from my lights is blueish, the way real outdoor fill lighting is. <br /> <br />As for painting in the blue when you cast/pour/create the water, I don't favor this; I would rather place a mostly-clear epoxy into a fully modeled stream bed, and rely on the rest of the environment to make it look right. However, if you have a broad expanse of water you might find it much easier to go with a painted surface under lots of gloss medium.
