You can't fix mistakes, and I make a lot of them.

I searched for something I wanted to paint. Then I watched a couple of videos of different artists/instructors just to see if I liked them & the way they present & talk. I set the playback speed to 1.5-2 times normal speed & I advance the cursor through the video to quickly see how the project progresses.

Good luck! Can't wait to see your watercolor work.

on edit: Here's one tutorial I did for my first perspective lesson. My building didn't look quite so nice, but it was a good exercise.

It's very affordable--discounted to $19.99 right now. I haven't taken this class but I took a drawing class from him and I enjoyed it a lot. It's recorded sessions with limited individual feedback. I like his teaching style: clear, calm, kind, well-organized.

But I don't know if you are interested in portraiture. If you're not, I'm sure Domestika has other affordable watercolor classes.

I finally got back into it last year.

there are tons of videos but my advice would be, check out a few videos on color theory along the way.

watercolor is just like any other medium in the way that you still need to understand colors.

once you do, it's just a matter of technique and medium after that.

my two cents.
