Toadstools


A very quick walk today again, because I had an all day painting class and by the time I came home it was getting dark, and I was tired, I tend to stand for most of the day.
I nearly walked on these toadstools in the house paddock as they were getting covered in grass but I picked them and brought them home to sketch, first upside down and then the right way, placed in a fancy small dish. I dont think I would like to eat them. Done with watercolour pencils, dry, in my tiny sketch book.
I have put up a painting we did on my other blog, was rather pleased with them, no sketching, all sone with the brush and learning how to use whites.

I don't think I would eat them either but they're nice to draw.

BEAUTIFULLY done, Penny. The colors and lines are as subtle as the mushrooms!
