Salt texture - Wet paper, drop in watercolor (or gouache or acrylic), add salt when the paper is shiny, but not a puddle.

Salt and rubbing alcohol texture - Wet paper, drop in watercolor, add salt when the paper is shiny, but not a puddle.  Drop on alcohol when the paper is still wet.

Plastic wrap texture - Wet paper, drop in watercolor, put plastic wrap on paper and scrunch it to make the texture.  The dark blue marks were made because I started adding color without wetting the paper first...
