Wandering in the Darkness
Getting good contrast for creating a dark background in the scenes like this while using watercolours is always felt me a little more hard. The fading of the black colour in its saturation is the main problem I was facing. I always feared that this fading might bring bad results in the painting and eventually affect my confidence. Still I wanted to try some.

Editing using apps like snapseed is recommended to get some good contrast for the photograph. This will help in situations like fading of colours while using watercolours.
