The June challenge of 'Goed Gezien - Goed Bekeken' is about minimalism and Less is More.
During our walk yesterday I saw a dead tree branch with lots of colours in it but the little orange mushrooms were attracting most of my attention. Of course I made some reference pictures and as we walked on I realised that this was perfect for the challenge.
Drawing the dead wood in only black, white and grey using graphite pencils and giving the mushrooms their own colour would be as minimalistic as I can get.
While I was working on this one I decided that I would not use water on the branch because it did not really need more layers than this first one.
The mushrooms were drawn with a layer of pencil, a droplet of water and more pencil to make them stand out as much as possible.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
