Wanted: Realistic Watercolor PS Action

faceonmars

Howdy,

Although Photoshop may not be the most ideal app to use for creating digital watercolor renditions of photos, I'm comfortable with Photoshop and just don't have the time to learn a new graphics app. I've done some experimenting, trying to create an acceptable watercolor with Photoshop, without much luck. I've tried a few free actions that I've found, but none look very good.

Has anyone used a watercolor action that actually looks realistic? I know it's possible to create some outstanding watercolor work with Photoshop, I've seen it, but the the artists keep their technique a secret.
