How can you create watercolor-esc transparencies, varying levels of depth of color and also creating imperfections, like these two images bellow? (both by Elisa Webler)

I've tried taking a vector drawing, adding transparency to the shapes and adding noise over the top, but it doesn't get the same look, it looks much flatter.

I've put a basic drawing similar to the ones bellow in a .ai file in MY DROPBOX - if anyone wants them to experiment with filters, effects etc.

Then place colors shapes on top with varying opacity and transparencies blends. Overlay, multiply, darken etc. Letting the textured paper show through may give the illusion want.
