Heh heh, that's the first thing I tried after coloring my picture. I can't quite get the effect I want with it.
I'll give an example of what I'm talking about.

Get Painter. I hear that Painter 7 (almost in the can, so to speak) has a completely new watercolor brush engine. Beta Testers are raving about it.
If you're stuck with PS, try painting with various opacities and with the "wet edges" option on. With a little work you can get some decent effects.

use hard edge round brushes with pressure control for both opacity and size. spacing of 25 and hardness at 100%. make sure you are using the airbrush too.
that makes it somewhat like the painter watercolor brushes, although not entirely the same.
