Lizzie Harper has an excellent video on white flowers on YT if you would like some further ideas. She is a professional botanical illustrator who works in watercolor but the concepts are the same as for color placement, and you can get a similar effect from layering pencils. White flowers typically have shadow(grey/blue/purple) and reflected light from surrounding objects. So very pale blue, green, yellow, pink, etc are common. A petal near a leaf would grab some green, one near the center might have a bit of yellow or orange. This reflected light helps to keep them from looking grey or "dirty" and makes them fit with the plant. She also shows techniques to show white petals on white background (either the paper or another white object) by strategic use of shadow outside the petal. All of these techniques can be used for white animals or objects as well.

Thank you for the suggestions....very useful tips as always 🤗💗

Oh thank you so much. This is an awesome tutorial on white flowers. I've always been a little scared of doing white wrong, or just making them white from the paper itself., but this looks great. You have a really great way of explaining things in order for anyone to try to do this as well. Your videos are always so informative and relaxing to watch and listen to you explain makes my coloring experience extremely less stressful (because it's not supposed to be ! ) but you help me color more freely and also learning how to color better.

[@shelscolouringjourney]

You're very welcome, I am so glad that I have managed to explain things rather than confuse everyone watching! Thanks for the lovely comment. It makes me happy to hear that you find my videos relaxing, thank you! 🤗💗
