I am looking for a watercolor brush that may do this type of pooling and grain pick up

I presume this artist did not do this in painter.

Have you tried the digital watercolour brushes gonkob?

I also wanted to try to re-create that grainy pool of pigments that you can get with traditional water colour paintings and became very frustrated not finding it in the watercolour tools.

Then I used the digital water colours, increased the wet fringe and reduced or removed the diffusion and added the surface texture of the paper at about 20% before painting. I found it was much better and more to my liking.

Thank you for the brush recipe! can you send me a link to the watercolour brush vendor?

Thanks!

Hi ginkob,

Welcome to The PainterFactory! 

I'm not sure what you mean by "watcolour vendor", but I believe squirrel is referring to the Corel Painter Digital Watercolor brush category which is available in the following Corel Painter versions:

Painter 8 through 8.1

Painter IX thorugh IX.5

Painter X through X.1

 
squirrel and ginkob,

It's not necessary to add texture before painting unless you want to. Any brush variant that interacts with Paper texture will apply the appearance of texture in the brush stroke as you paint.

Also, as long as Digital Watercolor paint remains wet, the Wet Fringe slider can be adjusted to control how much the wet fringe shows.

In the demo below, you'll see two Papers each set to three different Papers palette Contrast slider settings, and again using the Painter X.1 Digital Watercolor's New Simple Water variant:
