Watercolor painting is a beautiful and versatile medium that can be enjoyed by beginners. To get started, gather necessary supplies such as watercolor paints, brushes, paper, and a palette. Prepare your materials by filling a container with water and setting up a workspace. Start with simple exercises to practice basic techniques such as wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and layering. Experiment with different brush strokes and color mixing to achieve different effects. Practice regularly and have patience as you learn and improve your skills in watercolor painting.
