So here's a one-day attempt at getting visible knots and knot bleed, plus one of
the flakes of paint is now hanging on by a thread to the painted surface.  (Look
just up and to the right of the center of the top board).

The knot has both a physical implementation that causes it to push out from the
surface of the wood a bit, and a textural implementation that implements the
color bleed from the knot into the paint itself.  Right now the color bleed
matches the physical texture of the knot exactly, modulo some warp turbulence to
spread the color.
