Autumn season is so colourful and full of inspiration. We spend more time at home and painting can be a fun activity for a cozy weekend. Whether you're just starting out or looking for a simple, fun project to sharpen your skills, you’re in the right place.

In this class, you'll create a vibrant red mushroom painting with simple, beginner-friendly watercolor techniques.

This class will include one class project with a fly agaric mushroom. We will follow simple steps to create the class project:

Exercise to practice in wet-on-wet technique.
Prepare a sketch.
Apply masking liquid.
Prepare color mixes on the palette.
Painting the mushroom.

For this class I used the following materials:

Watercolor Paper Aurora cold-pressed, 100% cellulose, 300 gsm/140 lbs

Synthetic Brush #8 by Escoda Perla, Kolinsky Brush #2 by Escoda Reserva

Masking Liquid by Schmincke

Watercolors:

Perylene Red by Rembrandt (PR149)
Aureolin by White Nights (PY151)
Ultramarine Finest by Schmincke (PB29)

Whether you're a total beginner or have some experience with watercolors, this class is designed to be engaging and accessible for everyone.
