MUSHROOM MUSHROOM
Does anyone else remember this travesty that did the rounds of the internet a few years ago? Ever since I painted this mushroom I've had this song stuck in my head and it's driving me nuts :( I'm currently listening to some really bad Spanish pop music on the radio in the hope that it'll get rid of the badgers. It's not working, and apparently every single Spanish pop song goes on about the soul. You touch my soul, I like your soul, your soul is beautiful...
Anyway, this mushroom was an exercise in colour mixing from my Alywn Crawshaw book. The colours used were alizarin crimson, yellow ochre and ultramarine. I overworked it a bit but I kind of like it anyway.

It's so well done! ^^ The depth is great, love the contrast and I would like to pick it up, chop it into pieces and put them on my scrambled eggs.... hmmmm... yummy (isn't it obvious that I am hungry again? ^^ )
I love the painting, but I think you could have gone a bit further, by going more expressionist (or impressionist) and make your color pallet more vibrant.
I hope you didn't mind my little critique on your work.
Very sweet little mushroom.....great colors from the three you used. AND the dk lines under the mushroom are v well done.
Love your landscapes too........tell your inner critic to take a hike, you're doing great!
I like it too! you have made a really good job of the shadow - shadows are my bete noir!
I like it!
