1. depends what your painting style is

liron yanconsky has very good content . Another well known watercolorist who has extensive tutorial videos is maria raczynska .

2. If you find one, let me know. I suck at watercolor.

You can't fix mistakes, and I make a lot of them.

3. That's what I'm discovering about it

You really have to plan ahead.

4. There are so many!

I searched for something I wanted to paint. Then I watched a couple of videos of different artists/instructors just to see if I liked them & the way they present & talk. I set the playback speed to 1.5-2 times normal speed & I advance the cursor through the video to quickly see how the project progresses.

Good luck! Can't wait to see your watercolor work.

on edit: Here's one tutorial I did for my first perspective lesson. My building didn't look quite so nice, but it was a good exercise.

5. You might try Michele Bajona's watercolor portraiture class on Domestika.

It's very affordable--discounted to $19.99 right now. I haven't taken this class but I took a drawing class from him and I enjoyed it a lot. It's recorded sessions with limited individual feedback. I like his teaching style: clear, calm, kind, well-organized.

But I don't know if you are interested in portraiture. If you're not, I'm sure Domestika has other affordable watercolor classes.

8. I just can't do people!

But I may look into his classes.

6. I hadn't picked up a watercolor brush in ages...

I finally got back into it last year.

there are tons of videos but my advice would be, check out a few videos on color theory along the way.

watercolor is just like any other medium in the way that you still need to understand colors.

once you do, it's just a matter of technique and medium after that.

my two cents.

9. This is the best reference for beginners that I have found

The Complete Watercolor Artist:

https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Watercolor-Artist-Sally-Harper/dp/0785800352/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3CQ0DAUI6QFFI&keywords=The+Complete+Watercolor+Artist&qid=1655313934&s=books&sprefix=the+complete+watercolor+artist%2Cstripbooks%2C164&sr=1-1

It contains lots of great information and really helped me get started, and it's not that expensive for a hardbound book. Hope this helps.
