Tuesday Class

Acrylic mushroom.  I used a brown paint and added some red, yellow, and blue to spruce it up.  I then used thin layers  working similar to watercolor (remember to lightly sand the canvas panel first...).   Concentrate on the values working  on the dark areas first and make sure they have variety (not just a solid dark shape, but a gradation and texture). 

Watercolor mushroom.  Concentrate on values using brown (and a little bit of red, yellow, and blue).    I mixed my brown with the 'yuck' on the palette as well as some sienna.  Work on the dark areas first and make sure they have variety (not just a solid dark shape, but a gradation).
