The Fringe watercolor brushes let you apply watercolor effects directly to the canvas or a default layer, without the need for a Watercolor Layer. However, the brush control options for Fringe watercolor are limited. |
There are Watercolor-compatible brushes in other categories as well. To check whether a brush is compatible with Watercolor, look for the Watercolor Layer compatibility icon 
in the bottom-right corner of the Brush selector. For more information on painting with compatible brushes on special layers, see Special layers preferences. For information about the Layer compatibility icons, see To show or hide the layer compatibility icons.
You can also alter the appearance of watercolor by changing the paper texture and modifying the brush controls.
