Morning Session- Botanical Realism in Watercolor: Mushroom Study

Botanical Realism in Watercolor: Mushroom Study

Explore the warm, earthy colors and organic textures of mushrooms in this Botanical Realism Watercolor Study. We’ll work with soft washes, layering, subtle shadows, texture, and natural color variation to create realistic mushroom forms.

This is an intermediate-level watercolor class, but adventurous beginners are absolutely welcome! If you’ve taken Watercolor 101 or a few of our watercolor classes, this is a great next step.

During class, we’ll be working on two pieces at the same time: one featuring a singular mushroom and one featuring a pair of mushrooms. Working between the two pieces will allow us to take advantage of drying time while practicing the same techniques in different compositions.

We’ll be painting with Daniel Smith professional watercolors on Arches 100% cotton watercolor paper. Rather than working from dot cards, each participant will receive a small pre-made watercolor palette specifically prepared for this study.
