I've been thinking about taking up painting, and was looking at starting with watercolors. Any advice for a beginner?
Well I think that before you actually start painting, you should understand the history to better educate yourself. The watercolor paint has pigments suspended in a water-based solution.
Aw man, I was never good at art history. What if I just watched some Bob Ross videos? I bet I could make something pretty great!
Haha that would be a great start. Bob Ross is a legend. I bet he would tell you that "watercolor" refers to the medium (you) and the final artwork you create.
