Mix acrylic paints and PVA glue in a pallet. It works quite well to partially mix the paint as it gives a natural streaky or patchy look to rocks, water and stone which is more realistic than solid colour. Use strips of kitchen roll to cover the edges of the box. Stick them down with the PVA /paint mixture. Paint the kitchen roll and the box in patchy shades to represent a rocky hillside. Scrunch up kitchen roll to make rocks, stick it to the box and paint it. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

Make grassy areas around the aqueduct in just the same way. Mix PVA with different shades of green and yellow paint. Scrunch up kitchen roll to make bushes and paint/glue these in place. Use strips of kitchen roll around the base of the columns to cover up the flaps. Paint over them in whatever colours you are using for the base. For water use blue and white with touches of green. Paint streaks that ‘flow’ through the arches and around the columns. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

If you are modelling water, use strips of cling film to give it a realistic glittering look. Just press slightly crunched cling film strips onto the mixture of PVA and paint. Make sure the strips are ‘flowing’ in the same direction as the water (towards the arches and through to the other side). © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

Here is a section of model aqueduct that begins with a river valley. Make the stone top of the aqueduct by drawing freehand parallel lines along your 10 cm strip and marking the stones at right angles. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.

Make the water channel by scoring a line 2 cm in from the outside edges of another 10 cm strip of card. Draw stones on the on top and bottom of both edges. Fold these edges up to make the sides of the channel. Use coloured pencils to draw the water in the channel (make sure the lines go in the direction the water is flowing). Place the strip representing the stone top and the channel on top of the aqueduct to finish it. If you are joining strips to make it long enough, make sure that each one is stuck beneath the one before so that the flow is downhill. © Original resource copyright Hamilton Trust, who give permission for it to be adapted as wished by individual users.
