My watercolor wash in the background is how I got the flower to stay white....just placing the colors around it. Next, I used my gold pen to color around the flowers and in the center. I also used it to draw my stem and leaves.

That partial background wash adds so much interest around your gold enhanced white blossom. It rather puts me in mind of waves lapping at the shoreline. Love the sentiment.
