and it was good, sorry to say :P
Whoops. Must have been an accident, then.
I think my problem with watercolours is that they are the exact opposite of what I'm used to, what I've always done: black-and-white pencil drawing :P
Heh. Maybe that's an explanation why I keep having difficulties with black-and-white...
Too many colours! Not enough precision!
It's actually possible to be very precise with watercolors. It just takes a loooong time. ;)
Mind you, getting proper lessons in how to use them would probably help...
A while ago, I posted a tutorial thingy.

Maybe that helps?
(Meanwhile, my son has been using oil paints thanks to his grandma. He's not terribly interested, but he did produce a few nice things.)
Nice. ^^ I'd love to work with oils but they.... stink. XD
