With watercolors you don't usually use white. You add more water in order to lighten the color. As you can see in the painting on the left I tried to put that rule into practise.
Watercolor inks are very intense; so in order to lighten the colors you have to add a lot of water. Actually I used some left over tiny spots of ink and added water to them and was surprised how much color I still could get out of the very watery result.
I also tried out working with an orange ecoline brush pen in order to add a contrast to the blue and pink shades.
I've got some of those ecoline brush pens, and they are a beautiful add on to the watercolor inks. Ecoline does not offer empty pens, but Molotow does: They offer empty Aqua Brush pens which they say can be easily filled with ecoline watercolor link. I haven't tried out this yet, but maybe I will sooner or later.
