http://www.watercolorbasics.com Watercolor Basics: Copyright 2009 Watercolor Basics - All Rights Reserved. is there a good website that teaches the basics of watercolor painting with a few examples? I love to draw and I want to start painting but I know nothing about it, so I'm starting with watercolors. I have a decent brand of watercolors (not the children's paint palette kind) and some decent weight paper and brushes. I don't want to go all out spending my money on high quality stuff if I'm going to be no good at it. Thanks so much!

I just purchased some Akashiya Watercolor brush pens and found out there SO hard to use. It's not as easy as traditional watercoloring and it didn't come with a "blender pen" like other watercolor brush pen companies include. Can anybody tell me how to use these pens?
