Practice, practice, practice.
June.
Oh God of homeless things, look down
And try to ease the way
Of all the little weary paws
That walk the world

Lovely June. Are you putting a texture layer under that?

Thank you Brett. Actually, I have textures, two in layers above - blend mode overlay.

Love the textural gritty feel you’re getting with this one.
Watercolours lend themselves to almost infinite painting possibility’s from solid colours to delicate washes.
So keep exploring June, it’s already beginning to bear fruit!

Yes, I should have said ‘above’ because as you say the texture layer(s) go on the top. Try ‘soft light’ as a blend mode too (if you haven’t already). I nearly always use one or more grunge images because watercolours in AV won’t granulate.
