I love all the layers that you added, and how they don't blend with the paint underneath it. I think it makes it look very expressive.
Very cool!

Go on youtube for tutorials. But really, i dunno. Teach watercolor... hmm, like with every other medium just... paint. just try. look at what you see and try and keep trying (and failing) until you nail it. I never really "learned" how to do it just dipped in so i can't help you on the tips and tricks. besides there are books and tutorials out there and so on. and they are definitely helpful, but in my opinion, what is most helpful is just learning to see. how to really look at things. notice the colors, what is that color made of, is it really just yellow, just green? what happens if you put blue next to it, or red? how does that color look like then? you'd say a face is just beiges and creams and browns sometimes, there's pink but really look at skin. you'd say there's no green or violet in it, or blue, unless it's a bruise, but, how does skin look that is really translucent and shows veins, how does olive skin look like. is it really uniform and the same in all areas? how does black skin look like? what nuance has it? is it deep black or a hazel brown, is it really ever just black? is it shining blue? or even red or violet depending on what color is in the air? what color has daylight? when the sun shines, or when it's overcast. how are the shadows in the morning? how are they at noon? how are they when there are just clouds? when are they sharp, when are they soft and diffuse? look in the distance and notice that air has density and what's far away is seen through layers of air which are not just nothing but make things in the distance look bluish and so what is in front seems warmer, more vibrant. really, it's just a thing of learning to see and look at things. and then letting go and just painting. over and over again.
as for watercolor, use a brush about 7mm (it might seem thick but it can paint small strokes and thick strokes while with really thin brushes it's harder to work and apply uniform washes) and keep your water clean. try more techniques and see what works for you. i'm not a fan of the color wheel (because it's too strict for me) but it's useful to understand complementary colors and to see what mixes with what in what way. look for some youtube tutorials and there are some quite good and descriptive and just do some exercises but really, all there is is just learning to see.
