How to achieve this look?

and with something like this on top.



but what I get is this.



the blue circle looses its 'solid' color and I do not want that.

I am using the watercolor brush and tvpaint 10.

This problem occurs with all transparent brushes. What I do:
- duplicate the top layer
- set it to preserve alpha
- fill it with white
If necessary I duplicate this white layer as well.

Now I have
- top watercolor
- white mask
- bottom artwork

*update*

thank you for the advice. it works to a degree, but the edges as you fill leaves very undesirable results.

and then applying your advice and going around the fuzzy areas with the airbrush

adjusting the flood fill tool helps a bit but i ended up going into the watercolor brush again this time with white as the color and traced along the fuzzy edges(i was not being overly accurate while painting)


I wish there was some other way around in doing this to be honest and done all natively in tvpaint.

Another solution that I am thinking of is on the rendering and compositing side but I'd have to read and research more on that.

If any experts are out there reading this; any links,advice and etc. will be greatly appreciated.
