Trio of fluorescent ATCs (they glow, too!)

[Mountains_and_Clouds (SaRa :) [they/her])]

Just sharing a few watercolor ATCs I made during last month’s Ongoing ATC Swap for the theme “dancing in sunlight.”

They’re neon/fluorescent watercolors with india ink, and I added some glow-in-the-dark watercolor to two of them (and a shimmery gold to the third one) too, so they can also be “dancing in moonlight.”

Congratulations! Your Trio of fluorescent ATCs is a Featured Project this week!

Thank you for the love, everyone!

@Silky_Bee I’ve had the same issue with both watercolor and acrylic paint. I find that they need to be a lot thicker than what I normally do. There are at least four or five layers of the glow watercolor on these.

I didn’t even know that fluorescent watercolors were a thing, much less glow in the dark water colors! These are really cool.

The bright colors make me so happy, and the fact that it glows in the dark is
