You can use the Watercolor Brush tool 
to simulate the transparent strokes of watercolor painting. Watercolor brushstrokes reveal the canvas texture and are wet in terms of how they interact with other strokes when you smear or mix them together. For more information see To dry or wet an Art Media layer.
