Visit you tube. Seeing how it can be done is very helpful.

It's really frustrating to do this without instruction. What I did to teach myself, was to use Watercolor Pencils. They 'taught' me how to move the color around & create different effects. I call them "training-wheels for watercolors."
Originally I found them at Walmart, but have also seen them at Michael's. They come in sets of 10 or 12.
I also keep a separate small pad of watercolor paper to try out different effects & label them with the colors I used. Sometimes I even time how long it took the examples to dry, especially when adding salt.
Be prepared to be in it for the long haul. I've doing it for nearly four years & each painting teaches me something new.
