You learn as much from the other students as from the teacher, usually. What helps me the most is watching how artists paint, so I'd recommend videos if you can't get to a class. The Pennsylvania Watercolor Society has a big library of videos and tapes that members can borrow free. I don't know where you're at, but hopefully, there will be an art or watercolor group in your area. If all else fails, you can never go wrong studying the 'masters' and your local library will have books on those. Go for it! Hi Kathy,

I would like to know if you taught yourself or had at least some classes to start your career? I am handicap and use a walker so I have to use at a cane to go out plein air painting.
