Ref 880 Mixed media (watercolor + phosphorescent markers)  -- Achieving a luminous glow in a painting
Use high-key, tints, very clean and bright, surrounded by middle-key (not dark) low-intensity (gray) neutrals. In the painting I've surrounded yellow and pale red with a grayed violet. Because the violet is complementary to the yellow, the glow of the center is enhanced.  Avoid hard edges and let the colors blend to enhance the effect of the glow
Some tips;
  • Learn to test paints for transparency, intensity and tinting strength.
  • Mix the color you want every time with the split-primary color-mixing
  •       system.
  • Mix livelier, more exciting colors for every painting.
  • Develop your own unique personal palette.
  • Plan with color schemes and eliminate trial and error.
  • Learn to use color contrasts effectively.
  • Understand how to put the principles of color design to work.

  • As this is a mixed technique, I went further applying within the protected glares phosporescent colors. but there are also iridescent medium-- that gives pearlescent or glitter effects when mixed with paints
