Watercolour Doodles: Bubbles or Doughnuts?

I had just gotten my hands on a set of Dr Ph Martin’s Radiant Watercolours and I wanted to test them out. Once again my doodles took the form of circles - imperfect ones, but circles nonetheless. As I was painting these, my first thought was that they looked like those chunky, translucent, lucite rings that came in an array of fun rainbow hues and were popular during the 1960s (and made a brief resurgence last year).

When I looked at it again a few days later, I thought of bubbles.

When my three-year old watched me clean up the digital copy on Procreate, he said they were doughnuts. Maybe he was just hungry.

What do you see?

Also, which background do you prefer?

The “Darker” Version

I somewhat prefer the version with the midnight blue background; I think it makes the colours pop and make them almost neon-like. Disco bubbles! :-)
