Welcome @julie1976- I find that I have stopped my art too. Having PTSD has put a crimp in my imagination and creativity. I use to do watercolors, even won a couple of awards. What kind of art do you do? What are the teaching videos that you watch?

@merpreb Get on you tube and get back on it I myself work with acrylics . The lady that got me started is under Painting with Jane....I believe she has a couple watercolor tutorials but I haven't watched them yet. Another excellent teacher is The Art Sherpa....she has some watercolor tutorials. But I would do a search for simple watercolor tutorials in you tube. When you see a painting you'd like to paint watch the tutorial. I watch one,then watch it and paint. It is so great to pause it and get to where you want it and hit play. I cannot believe how someone could teach me to come out with a painting so complex. Some of the paintings that look difficult are actually simple to do. I really know nothing about watercolor.
In November I saw a picture of the large mass in my skull. When I had my surgery date I put all the painting stuff away. (I work at my coffee table) I had a count down until surgery day. That was January 7th. In January I finished 3 pieces .Letting your mind escape the stress..listening to the lesson and painting. I helps immensely
