I did this texture test to see if I could get some of those crazy grainy watercolor textures. Seems like it works. The secret is to have a very open brush that you can mess with.

If you save these images you can open them in Photoshop and "define brush presets" from them.

I also did a little bit of reticulation/spatter/blur for texture in flat all-over areas.

Wow these look nice...though I can't figure out how to use them correctly. It seems I spend my time doing a thousand brush stokes, or they are too soft to be gristly... sigh.
