A simple negative space watercolour painting to try out the layered negative painting technique. Colors: Chinese White, Phthalo Blue, Orange Ocher

A watercolour painting using the negative space technique. In the foreground are several large pale orange circles. Behind them are slightly smaller orange circles. Some of the orange circles are overlapped by the larger pale orange circles. Behind them are small greenish circles, some of which are overlapped by both the large pale orange circles and the smaller orange circles. Behind the small greenish circles is a dark blue background. The painting gives an illusion of depth with the lighter circles appearing closer and the darker circles appearing further away.
