I know, I know - using white with watercolors usually is a no-go. But I am a person who likes to experiment with no-go's . So I took a bit of gouache white and added some watercolor ink to it. You can see the results on the right side of the image: There is original hue (night blue), and if you go down on the right side, you see how it is changed by adding white. You can also see how you can get a lighter hue by adding water to the paint.
All in all I am still fascinated by those vivid colors you get when you use liquid watercolors. I keep my originals safely packed away in a binder. I scan them and use the scan for prints or cards or whatever.
