you can use pastels over the top


start with a wash and then increase thickens lay by layer


let the paint run down


sprinkle rices is another one I heard of.


Flick water colour over it


blot dry with serviette


or lay a text matarial over the top


blow through a straw
just experiment and piddle around-isn't that what you do with your other mediums? it is harder to get the textures you want with watercolors-im not gonna lie, i do know more about acrylics- but sand, foil,sponges and oil works well-it also depends if your water is hard or soft. sometimes if you just experiment with something you get a really good result, now turn that into something, paint around it, you know? you could also make a comb out of cardboard or just use a normal one and play around with that. you get a marble effect using a granulated wash, that could be used as sky or landscape. In watercolor the texture ends up being more ';tromp l'oiel'; (sp) then actually being raised off the paper like with acrylics. the key here is layering.hope this helps!
