Create a paper texture
For a more realistic looking watercolour painting (see the above question) you’ll need to mimic the texture of the thick paper used by artists. Create a new layer and Edit>Fill Layer with 50% Gray. Go to Filter>Noise>Add Noise, choosing an Amount of 200%. Apply the Motion Blur filter with an Angle of 90 degrees and Distance of 4px. Set the blending mode to Overlay and reduce its Opacity to around 46%. This will create a paper texture for an authentic watercolour look.
