I was surfing on the Internet to find watercolor lessons and found many. The first one I found was at Daniel Smith site. For some reasons, I cannot find it from my home computer. But I learned that I should put the paper more vertically than horizontally to avoid streaks on the paper. I have been using paper towels and sponges to make the impressions of clouds, but from this Daniel Smith site I learned to use Kleenex paper; certainly Kleenex will give a softer impression.
Then I visited Jennifer Branch, Peter Fleming, and Roland Lee site. I learned to plan a value pattern before I start painting among other things.
While I was trying to find the free watercolor online lessons from the Daniel Smith site, I accidentally found Jerry's Artrama site http://www.jerrysartarama.com/art-lessons/Medium/Watercolors/index.html?utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=Free+Art+Lessons&gclid=CKzm0aas36sCFQtb7AodKGUrTQ which offers more than 800 free art lessons, more than 100 of which are watercolor lessons.
