Just like the title says. I am self taught in the ways of photoshop, so sometimes I get stuck trying to figure out how to use the program for things it doesn't readily try to mimic the way painter does. I am currently trying to make a game with a friend of mine and I would like a water color-ish tone to the concept work. I have some background in real media water color but I can't seem to find a way to get a similar look digitally.

If anyone has some good techniques I'd be most appreciative.

One thing that works is to scan an actual piece of watercolour paper and throw it over as a multiply layer..its a start
