Fall Watercolour Mushrooms with Willow Wolfe
Fall Watercolour Mushrooms with Willow Wolfe
Join Willow Wolfe for a seasonal watercolour exploration as we capture the beauty of mushrooms. In this one-hour demo, you’ll discover how to create luminous, layered colour while learning techniques to achieve both drama and delicacy. Willow will guide you through painting rich, earthy reds for mushroom caps, soft transitions for the undersides, and the striking contrast of bright white spots, with or without masking fluid. With approachable, step-by-step instruction, you’ll gain insights into brush control, colour mixing, and layering that bring your mushrooms to life with depth and charm. Perfect for all levels, this demo will leave you inspired to celebrate autumn through watercolour.
