It certainly does, sometimes a bit too interesting! In the Lemon and Bottle painting I think overdid it.
One thing that strikes me about this is that it would be very nice to be able to apply texture to the ground depending on the subject, or perhaps the desired feel, of the painting. But since the panels need preparing ahead of time and the ground needs to be dry, it would perhaps take some of the spontanaiety out the painting.
By the way Richard, I love your idea of painting kids in the local library. Their parents must love you.
P.S. I'd love to see some of those oil sketches, if you have any pics.
