Watercolor Background - Exercise

Update with the last exercises: embellishments, gradients and stained glass effects. I did a huge mess with the pen and the ink in the last ones, smudged quite a lot, because I did not wait enough to start painting or put my hand above while drying. I loved it anyway and learned a lot about water control. Small steps :-)
So much fun doing it. I did not have gold or silver pen, so I had to make do with white gel pen. I like the result a lot. I guess it is more subtle this way, but still very interesting in my opinion.
