Watercolor.-- texturizing -another exercise --ref 817

Contrary to oils and acrylic, watercolor is a medium that doesn’t have any thickness to it, so the quality of the paper (rough, cold press or hot press) will be an important factor to consider when rendering textures. A simple flat wash can be textured on rough or cold press paper as some of the larger pigments will settle into the indentations of the paper — this is called granulation

Texture refers to both the feel and appearance of a surface, it is one of the elements that can make a fine art painting successful by rendering it more believable and by establishing a sensorial connection with the viewer, I´m trying to add a variety of media to manipulate its appearance, molding paste wáter base has been helpful in my older Works, however added in paper needs to be in a small thickness to avoid further problems, in my following example I added molding paste in just some spaces you can see through out the painting (as background to make smooth surface and in the foreground  "front flowers" to add additional dimension

The following painting exersice 818, was made in Canson paper 160 gr and was not suitable to add this particular additional texture, nevertheless I´m posting my exercise
