I want to learn how to do watercolor like this. How did you learn?

I learned on my own, since I was a kid. I started with inks, looking at how different artists worked.
Eventually, I also tried with watercolor.
I will start publishing books and dvds on different techniques soon. Oil, watercolor, acrylic, digital, etc...
Stay tuned...

I reach out to set the Chapstick on the nightstand beside my bed, but seconds after I release the tube I have to grab it again. Wrong, the brain wasps tell me, you have to get it just right.
I briefly consider hurling the thing across the room, but I know that I’ll just have to get out of bed to pick it up again. I am trapped in my own compulsions.
I know it’s stupid, and that’s part of what’s bothering me so much. Why can’t I just p

I thought he was a bit stuck up, maybe a little arrogant of his own abilities too...but actually, he was right. You will not truly value Photography until you go right back to basics and learn ho...
