Great stuff as usual.

I've done a bit of watercolor in the past so without pics I just thought I'd throw in some ideas for textures for anyone who wants to try.

Alot of things can have cool effects on watercolors, just gotta play around and see what they do, experiment some.

tissue- wad up some (snot) tissue papers and splot the wet paint in the sky for clouds (it'll suck some of the water paint off the paper). tight wads will big bigger thick clouds, loose wads will be thinner wispy clouds.

Salt- big grainy salt, sprinkled onto wet paint will make cool star bursts. Let paint dry then brush off the salt. Stars, glitter on shiny things like metal.

knife/paint brush end - once paint is dried you can scrape white lines in (you scrape paint off the paper). Good for highlights.

toothbrush - wet paint on tooth brush, then aim brush at painting and 'stroke' it with your thumb. It'll make cool splatters. Maybe good for gravel...

that's all I can think of for now.
