Watercolorists highly value the color White; and take great care to save unpainted áreas of paper, other watercolorists enjoy using opaque White pigments to créate lively effects, so before add some notes, we need to see and think White.- and break the rules, so use anything to create great paintings, the glow of the paper provides a much better White that any paint, if I do use White paint. it is White gouache since that seems to me most opaque.- when I´m saving smaller áreas of White, I do not masking anything but simply paint around the áreas, The point I´m making is that White is not really White, you find hundred of samples of different whites even a hint of color in a wash will cast a White área in a new light.
My following painting was made trying to save the White áreas, but finally I have to complete White in White.- White plays a desicive role in the pictures
part of the reason is as follows; we are dealing with the two dimensional surface of the paper so applying again White over White there is a small change in color .- shadows revelead by sedimentation of pigments which gives some White tones within White colors better than just one just White color within the saved área.- therefore the White flowers were painted again with White watercolor, making more White values of tones and if you want some part of the área very clean or White, wipe out the área with a clean springy brush while the paper still wet
