White
watercolor or gouache can give your painting a nice opaque look to it.
That
is why it can be great for creating the illusion of ice or glass.
In
the above painting, the reflection was painted
then
a glaze of white watercolor was applied in certain areas to make it look like
ice.

In
watercolor, you usually save your whites.
However,
white paint can be used at times.
I
have mentioned the past couple of posts, the use of white for snow and crashing
waves.
White
paint can also be used to create more dimensions to calmer waves.
It
also creates an opaqueness to the water that can sometimes be seen when light
reflects off of it.

White
paint splatter with a toothbrush also works great for waves.
Splatter
masking fluid before painting the waves and white paint after.
It
creates a nice sparkle when the light hits your painting just right.
