This is a bit late, sorry! But watercolours are my go-to paint so I'd still like to help if I can! My advice is to paint light to dark with them, start off by laying down the lightest colours and then build up your shading on top. For lightening a colour you just want to be mixing it with a lot of water and it should lighten effectively, I recommend having scrap paper with you to test your colours on before they go on the painting! Adding pure water to the painting can also lift a bit of colour if you've gone too dark and want to make something lighter again. In general with decent quality watercolours, a little will go a long way so long as you have plenty of water. :) I hope you're enjoying the medium! I find them really fun ^^
