I've had a lot of fun this week working through Luba's mushroom photos. Here is the first one I chose to draw in my sketchbook, I've used a bit of artistic licence with the colours and the paper just happened to be this gorgeous shade of raspberry at the end of my book!
Then I thought why not try to make use of these pictures for a larger painting as I have a framed print in the kitchen that's in need of changing and the frame is in good condition. I measured up and worked out that I could put 12 drawings measuring 14 x 15 centimetres on one background.
I'm really not that comfortable with big paper so the idea of lots of little drawings appeals to me. I sorted out a stack of different colours and started drawing. This red spotty one I found while out walking on Wednesday was perfect to get me started and the green picture above I copied from a photo I took last week.
Here are Luba's forest ones again, drawn in Derwent line painters and a white gel pen.
This strange sombrero shaped one took a long time with all that stippling but I think it was worth the effort, especially as I had already drawn it once in the sketchbook!
And finally the finished page in the sketchbook where I decided to add the forest in the background as it was in the photo.
I hope you've enjoyed the start of my new project and will visit again soon to see part 2!
