This may seem obvious to some, but unless you're already doing this in your art, it's not something you'd naturally consider when starting to paint. My paintings are abstract and semiabstract, and even though I've been painting for years, I just realized this basic acrylic painting practice!

Workshops & Group mentioned in video:
https://www.louisefletchercourses.com...
https://www.art2life.com/
Both of the above offer a free introductory course 12 times a year, which is what I took, but they also offer paid courses and opportunities.

This is the group of which I'm currently a member
All 3 of these are open on a limited time basis throughout the year, but you can join their mailing lists to be notified of opportunities. Even if you can't do paid programs right now, each of their free sessions is fun, engaging, and highly educational. (I am not affiliated)

I also offer a free, private Facebook group for artists, you can join here:
