Jill,
        In my personal watercolors I apply a thin layer of acrylic
modeling paste using a palette knife. After it drys I paint over
it with transparent watercolors. I believe it would work for your
project. I'm including links to paintings where you can see it.

Look at the large rocks the children are climbing on:

Look at the background of the Poppies:

Look at the adobe wall in front of the church:

                                        I hope this helps, Woody in KC

I tried adding sand to tempera paint and painted a demo piece. It's cracking slightly in places, but my bigger concern is that as it's handled, the sand seems to be rubbing off. Can I seal them with something or use something else entirely?
