Gouache applied directly onto textured paper and scanned together, so the paint and the sheet are captured as one surface rather than combined afterwards.

Where the paint thinned, the paper shows through; where it pooled, it sits opaque. That interaction is the whole appeal and it cannot be faked by layering a texture over flat colour.
