Realistic watercolor emulation in Adobe Illustrator?

Question

Adobe Illustrator

I would like to share the experience of creating realistic vector images in a watercolor style. Total and merciless. We know how to draw live, but the advantages of the vector should not be missed.
My way is two way. First, the mask of the contour with the symbols of watercolor brushes splashed in it, on the most fictional random. Well, and then - the pulp: an internal glow for the implementation of purely watercolor edges of the stroke. Just their absence - and there is a fail with a blunt filling of the contours with brushes.
What do you have?
