I've always been amazed by the pictorial results of the watercolor 'masters',
for just the reasons you mention. Seems to be an awfully unforgiving medium.
Which is why I've never dabbled in it. Seems that you have to have almost
everything in the scene, all the colors, pre-planned in your mind. Ugh. It may
be a good exercise in patience and thoughtful planning...but give me POV-Ray
*any* day (or Photoshop, for that matter) where I can screw up and test things
out.
