When this Crocus sp. came to our place for drawing, our instructor brought it to me for painting. I was quick enough to be able finish it before it died. It was my first white petal painting and it was a challenge because in our palette we don’t have white color. We only shade the darker areas and protect the white areas on the paper. I gave the shades a greyish color and left the rest white. Although the petals looked kind of dirty at the end, the bulb detail and the picture as a whole were satisfactory.
