Sorry this is a bit late but I've just registered on SAA as a professional artist and have just picked up this. I've done quite a few paintings with water drops so have some experience in it. Have a look at this link to one of my paintings: http://www.birdingart.com/pages/thompson/coaltit.html I've developed a technique using an airbrush. I'm working on some instructional guides for my painting technique. If its something that may be of interest to you let me know.
