Go watch Bob Ross videos. I'm serious. He's not a great painter, his technique is not amazing -- but he shows you exactly what he is doing and talks about it continuously. For a beginner, that's pretty much perfect. Note that there is nothing special about Bob Ross brand anything; if you've got a local art supply place, you really don't need to buy that brand.
