It's great! What I like about it most is that you can go a long way just by learning about paints, brushes, techniques. It's not like drawing where all your (well, my) initial attempts suck.
My biggest recommendation: get small canvases. It takes less time to paint and you can finish and get something good without too much time investment. Much more motivating than a big canvas where I get bored before finishing.
Also, check out joony art on youtube. Every video is 10 minutes. Easy paintings that look good. Great for ADHD painters.
Sorry, just realized I typed a lot to convince you to do something which might mean you'll stop your current hobby!
I'll check it out when I get home from the trip I'm on. I'll let you know how it goes!
