I searched for something I wanted to paint. Then I watched a couple of videos of different artists/instructors just to see if I liked them & the way they present & talk. I set the playback speed to 1.5-2 times normal speed & I advance the cursor through the video to quickly see how the project progresses.

Good luck! Can't wait to see your watercolor work.

on edit: Here's one tutorial I did for my first perspective lesson. My building didn't look quite so nice, but it was a good exercise.
