This week for Shoot it, Sketch it I used this photograph of a Crocus Flower. I took this photograph a few years ago back in New Zealand. I picked the Crocus Flower as I wanted to play with the lines in the petals with my watercolours.
I feel the pressure week to week of this feature – but pressure is good :) It makes me draw & reminds me of the various ways one can interpret a single photograph. I would love to see the results of 100 people using 1 single photograph for drawing inspiration!

Beautiful photo and sketch!
Thank you so much Jess, thanks for visiting :)
What a stunning … photo, have you taken it??? Drawing is so beautiful. I love crocus, the color my world in the early spring over here … and they give me my favorite spice, saffron. 200 flowers for 1 gram … no wonder it’s expensive.
Yes I did take the photo :) I didn’t realise that Saffron came from the Crocus Flower? Wow! I just Googled Saffron flower & yes they do look the same. Interesting :)
It’s crocus… the yellow and that’s why the birds eat the yellow ones first, because of the flavor. That photo is magical.
So very inspiring…a great exercise. Thank you for sharing! How might others participate?
What an incredible flower it is!
