Gentle darkness
A watercolor with ink can nearly erase a motif and then release it again at the right angle. You can find symbolist watercolors in ink for sale here, and they suit people who like pictures that start speaking only with time.
Diluted ink produces violet, gray and blue tones that feel like dusk. Symbolic figures half step out of the veil and withdraw again. Because the paper takes up so much water, the transitions stay soft and never fully fixed.

Light and paper
This genre likes subdued light, which also helps the paper. Do not hang the piece opposite a large window, and choose an acid-free mat. Read the listing for the paper used and whether the ink is described as lightfast.
Hanging in subdued light
Watercolors with symbolic motifs like rooms with warm, dimmed light, such as bedrooms, reading corners or stair landings. A spot with warm color temperature brings out the depths without stressing the paper. Keep some distance between lamp and glass.
