inJust realized most online watercolor tutorials are setting beginners up for failure
Listen, did you just say your paper buckled during a sky wash? That's insane... tutorials glossing over paper weight is how you end up with wasted effort and frustration. It's not glorified guessing at all, it's setting up for failure when they assume heavyweight without saying it. And beginners don't know what they don't know... so they blame themselves instead of the incomplete instructions. Makes you wonder how many other basics are silently assumed in those videos...
