: I would love to put mist over water, but what is the technique, and what are the brushes to use to create a fog or a mist?For some reason I canoot seem to get any answers<<<

It's simple. It is a method called "scumbling." Just dilute a wee bit of white (zinc white would be best)
with some painting medium until it is almost transparent. Paint that over the area you want to have in fog.

You can add a hint of color to the white. The standard use of color in scumbles is to add the complement of the underlying color...if it's blue, a few grains of yellow will help the fog to float above it.
