Let That Shiitake Go! …vote with your reply and be entered to win a print of your choice!
My shiitake mushroom painting final result….
I’m pleased with the effect of layered, translucent, complementary colors.
I start with an India ink wash, and then begin to build layers of watercolor. I keep a paper towel and a test strip of rice paper by my pallet to check strokes, values, and colors.
Laying down the first layers with a light ink wash…
Then comes color!
Sometimes I turn the painting upside down to get a different perspective.
Which design do you like best for greeting cards and prints?

Very nice, I love the haziness of it, I'm hoping that's not just my monitor going bad lol. It's almost as if I could reach out and grab it, but from a dream. Nice warm colors, makes it even more inviting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your take on my painting…I like your “dream” and “inviting” interpretation very much!
Of the four designs at the bottom, do you have a preference?
(You’re entered to win a free print...so far odds are great that it’s you! hahaha)
I like the bottom right, sans print. I think the fungus speaks for itself. :)
A man after my own heart…a minimalist.
Very cool 😀
Thank you!

Magic art (:
Thanks so much. Love your work.

Thanks for your comment.
I'm a designer too and i like to work with text (simple fonts etc) But if my design is able to give the message without the need of writing, my preference is always the simplest visual expression. So i choose the 4th (bottom-right). all of them are good but, my opinion is the 4th is the most dynamic one..
Thanks! Yes...I'm a big "negative space" fan.

STOPBottom right is my favorite. The simplicity of just the 'shroom just does it for me. :) Beautiful work, as always!
