Video Quick Lessons

"Cheap" Joe Miller of Cheap Joe's Art Stuff has a fun series of video lessons in watercolor titled, "Joe Miller's Video Quick Lessons -- Tips For the Time-Impaired." All of the videos are good, and the first two, "Setting Up Your Palette" and "Setting Up Your Table," are especially informative for getting started. The videos range from 2 to 5 minutes in length and feature "Cheap" Joe Miller himself. Informative and fun!
