I worked all day on a large painting (20"x50") - a commission - and am sooo tired. I did these mushrooms yesterday because I had a little extra time. The cool thing about my new brush, I am finding, is that for some reason it gives me the courage to put totally different colors RIGHT next to each other, where before I felt like they all had to blend together. So in these mushrooms for instance, which were mostly shades of gray, I tried to accentuate the subtle colors that were really there, and I think it worked pretty well.

The results with your new brush are very cool. In fact, I'm starting to think I should make a trip to the art supply store and actually buy myself a fancy new brush.
Very cool, Carol. Mushrooms don't make their colors apparent . . .until we paint them. Your work is killer!
Best!

I really love this one. The colors make the mushrooms seem to dance. Really beautiful!
Ive tried painting mushrooms before they are tough to paint, but you pulled it off. cool :]

these beautiful grays in every shade just ROCK.
Is this when you started using the Monarchs?
Since I started using the crisper brushes, I am getting the sharper brushwork that I love.
Beautiful colors here.
