- Extra Sloppiness
-
Dual instances of the roughen FX can be applied to get "sloppier" layered watercolor effects. Create a watercolor style with a roughen effect applied to the edge. Then duplicate the style and adjust the roughen to contrast the boundary of the original style. Adjusting the watercolor properties (darkness, edge propogation,width) can also enhance the effect.
