Golden Mushrooms, 16x12 in (40x30 cm)

Painted on Baohong CP Paper. I divided this painting into four main sections: background, tree and moss, leaves, and mushrooms. I used a lot of spattering to create textures on the tree bark and the leaves. The bark was built up in several layers to achieve the desired dark tone, and I also used dry brushing in some areas to add texture. To create a glowing light effect, I left certain areas unpainted to preserve the white of the paper in the most highlighted spots. Then I softened the edges around those areas using a scrubber brush, which helped create the illusion of a soft, glowing light. Feel free to ask anything—I’d be happy to answer! ????‍????????????
