A lot of people have been asking, so here is the settings for my watercolour tool    (named Awatercolour)

Thanks for replying. Your tutorial sounds really great and broke it down simply without talking down to the reader the adobe illustrator book that I use talks down to you its almost insulting.

What was the custom watercolour tool is it your settings on the watercolour tool or a completely different tool?

Still don't understand when the appropriate moment is to bring in overlays, my mind just doesn't think that, i've really only painted traditionally most of the time, and sub-par digital work
