I like taking classes to learn new hobbies. I took a woodworking class last year and made a bench and coffee table. This year I took a watercolor class. Didn't keep up with the woodworking because I don't have a shop, but I've been watercoloring a TON since the class ended and I just love it. There's lots of free lessons for all levels on YouTube
I have considered woodworking but I also don’t really have space to do it. I would love to take a class for it to learn some basics to go on! Watercolor could be interesting. I’m an absolutely terrible drawer and it’s discouraged me in the past.
My watercolor teacher encouraged us to not let our drawing/sketching abilities get in the way of painting. He gave us graphite paper which can be used to trace. I use that piece of graphite paper more often than not. Sometimes I'm in the mood to sketch something out but mostly I just want to get to painting right away, without sketching and erasing an image a thousand times until I'm happy with it
If there's a makerspace in your area, they might have a woodworking workshop.
