>You can still use texture in B&W
Not brush texture.
What I mean by that is you can see each individual brush stroke as the fundamental unit of your painting. Having several colors glazed over a single brushstroke looks stupid, so artists who utilize digital overlay techniques always smooth over their brush strokes.

Case in point, no brushstrokes visible, everything is smooth.

Such a technique is, ultimately, nothing but a time saving measure and that's why you see it in concept art so often. Everything done through digital overlays looks like a generic post card illustration rather than a painting. If your goal is to become just another concept art draftsman, then it's okay.
