I am reading "Painting watercolours from photographs".
It looks good. Watercolour is hard.
I have one about oil painting which kind of gives you studies to follow but I only have cheap acrylics and probably the wrong colours.
I use the cheapest watercolours from Daiso. It's good enough for getting an idea on mixing and mastering brush skills.
Use what ever colours you like, you are the artist. ๐๐
I know but thereโs specific ones you need to mix or you get unintended/muddy colours. Iโd definitely have to experiment first or buy paints that have the official names
