Good Oil Painting Habits

aha ha, Can we make this into a traditional painting thread?

Personally I've always wanted to give watercolours a try after seeing some fantastic watercolour illustrations, but digital painting is already a daunting enough prospect. I wonder how well alot of digital painting tuts would apply to watercolours.

I suck with real painting (and digital to). it always hard for me to find the good balance of colors and the practice is very long to achieve god work (like a lot of creative works...).

This is why I prefer black&white.
