You can, or you can sprinkle the sand into a first coat of paint, while it is wet, let it drya and put another coat of paint over the sand - this eliminates contaminating all of the paint and the work of having to constantly stir the paint to keep the sand from settling to the bottom.
There is also an additive you can purchase i most good paint stores called "shark skin", it is specific for this use.

Can you use latex paint for a wood fence?
What do you mean? Yes, paint on wood trim is typically latex these days. Some older homes may still have alkyd (oil), though. To find out for sure, put a little nail polish remover on a cotton swab and rub it on the paint in an inconspicuous location. It it gets soft and starts to come off, it's latex. Either way, sand it lightly and recoat with the same type of paint and you're good. If you're asking about bare wood, DON'T USE LATEX! The water will swell the grain of the wood. Use an oil primer that is made to take latex topcoats.

Dried latex paint can not be reconstituted. If you have latex paint in a can and some of the liquid has evaporated, but it still has a creamy texture with no lumps, you may be able to add some water or a latex paint conditioner and make it usable, however, that should only be done when you need to touch up and can not get more of the original paint. If you want to repaint an entire wall, then take the old paint to a paint store and they will match it close enough so that you can use it near the old color.
