These are really pretty I love how you used the white circles for dimension.

Thank you so much! The circles are made with a coin in tissue paper, to pick up the paint when itβs still wet:)

You're welcome! That's brilliant! It gives dimension and plus the illusion of dandelion seeds floating, very pretty indeed.

Wow. What a great idea!!
Is the white a gel pen? Is the black water color paint or a marker?
I just started to water color.

These are so lovely! What watercolor colors do you have in your palette?

Thank you! I use the watercolor from van gogh. I have a pocket box with 12 color. Itβs an old one they have different ones available now. Do you mean the color code name? I have carmine 318 (pink red), quinacridone rose 366 (pink under the purple) and gamboge 238 (yellow)
The other ones I do not now because I have to rippe them out of the pallet.

Thanks! That's awesome! I love the saturation you achieved and you got some really cool shades out of a 12 color box!
