No, I haven't been to Worth1000. As I said, I'm not too immersed in Photoshop and its ilk, though I did one digital art course, which focused on that and Illustrator (to say that I just skimmed the surface of those programs would be putting it lightly). It looks like there are a lot of good tutorials there, if a bit advanced for me.
I just found some GIMP specific tutorials for clothing recolours on MTS2, so that might be a good place for me to start.
I haven't done a whole lot of painting either (drawing, photography, and printmaking is where I focused most of my attention), but I do have a good grasp on how to mix colour. Even colour balance in photography would be better, but the way computers do it is different altogether. At least I understand hue, saturation, and lightness, and what they do, but I still have to figure out how to work all the dials a little better.
As for painting media, I have worked in oil, acrylic, and watercolour. Oil is my favourite, but since I no longer have studio space, I don't do it anymore. It's really not safe to do it in your house, though I know many people that do. (Even acrylic is dangerous. Just because you don't smell it as much, doesn't mean the chemicals aren't getting to you.)
That's one major benefit if working digitally. The fumes and chemicals with not get to you. (That's also one of the reasons that I don't do so much printmaking anymore either. I've had some severe reactions.)
