golden mushrooms

golden mushrooms - student project

I chose Arches rough 140lb so I could try for more texture . I took the photo of this painting outside so I could capture this in natural light, no filter here!  I really struggled with the gills and using gouache paint , something I rarely use and could use some more practice with . Overall I am very happy with the outcome, it’s even more beautiful in person  ! Thank you for the beautiful tutorial !
