>Watercolor is something that has long been the
>medium of choice for letting kids putz around,
>so older people think of it as "easy" for
>that reason. It's not!

>Here is one suggestion for facilitating the
>learning curve with watercolor. Do a pen and
>ink sketch first, using waterproof ink (India
>ink) and then fill in between the lines with
>watercolor. It sounds 'childish,' I know, but
