In this class, you’re going to learn the basic techniques for drawing and painting mushrooms. Mushrooms come in an incredible variety, and they're fun to draw. Most Mushrooms have simple shapes and are great subjects for beginning sketchers, and with the simple step by step process that I'll show you you can explore their fascinating shapes and forms. I will show you techniques for drawing different shapes of mushrooms and how to paint a variety of colors and textures that mushrooms have. We will use different materials like colored pencils and watercolor in the class.
This class is great for anyone who wants to explore drawing mushrooms - they are beautiful, come in an amazing variety, and you can find them almost anywhere. The class is for beginning sketchers, and those who love exploring nature with their sketchbook and open eyes. Looking for the next mushroom to sketch is half the fun! You will need basic drawing skills for the class, and a way to add color to your sketches.
You can use the drawing techniques from this class for journaling about your mushroom sightings in nature, or for exploring different textures and colors in your sketchbook and learning more about how simple shapes are put together. Learning how to draw mushrooms is easy and fun.
I hope you’ll be inspired to explore drawing mushrooms by the end of this class.
I’m Julia, an illustrator and nature journaler from Germany, and I’m excited to share my favorite sketchbook techniques with you.
