[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Painting (mostly watercolors) is my intensive hobby. I took it up 7 or 8 years ago. [/b]I sell some occasionally, and will give pieces to friends and family (only if they specifically ask for one, which happens fairly frequently; I would never just gift someone a random painting).

In terms of pure relaxation hobbies, reading and baking. Does eating too much of the things I bake count as a hobby?[/quote]

How did you start?
Classes, you tube, etc?[/quote]
I randomly took a watercolor class for fun and it turned out that I had some aptitude for it. I took a few additional classes and I bought and worked my way through a variety of technique-based books. I'm fairly advanced at this point but I still enjoy taking occasional painting workshops. I'm not a big fan of YouTube painting tutorials because they tend to be more of a paint-by-number experience where you copy individual strokes. For me, learning from responsive humans is best, followed by books.[/quote]
