Look for YouTube videos that fit YOU

There are SO many great videos but some may not be your style of painting, may exceed (or not long enough) your attention span or may be too difficult for your current skills.

I am a little slow and prefer shorter videos because I can watch them again until I fully understand them. This ‘Blending Watercolor Techniques for Beginners’ is a perfect example of a great informative video – it is under 3 minutes. Looking over the AhmadArt YouTube videos I see that many of them are relatively short. Also, many of them are within my skill level. So glad I found their videos.
