re: watercolor. I've been using the cheapest tube paints. I think my difficulties are equally that 1) I don't know what I'm doing 2) I'm a perfectionist 3) cheap paint? and 4) cheaper brushes.
On the other hand, I really really like pencil. I can take it anywhere, and it generates a whole lot less mess.
Ha! That ruins my theory, then -- I was actually going to suggest that you use some really cheap paints, because they're usually very watery & actually help novices to get that watercolor look. Hmm!
I don't think you should be discouraged though. I'm really impressed by your painting skills & style.

As in, he's so cute, it makes me stupid! :)
I want to pinch his chubby cheeks! G*d Kris, you're making me want to pick up my pencils again and throw my art up in the old LJ, but I'll restrain myself. :)

Dude, you definitely should. If I have the gaul to show off my amateurish stuff... I bet yours are lovely! For me, anyway, drawing comes a whole lot easier than writing. Especially now, when everything I write is wretched.
