Draw mushrooms with watercolour markers and make fine details by masking them off with drawing gum.
How to do it Download the templates/recipes
1 Sketch a design lightly with a pencil.
2 Draw details on the mushrooms with drawing gum by masking the areas that you want to stay free from colour. Then let it dry for approx. 10 min.
3 Draw individual lines with watercolour markers. Here, red is used together with brown to tone down the bright red colour.
4 Mix the colours together with the water brush, preferably using a little water at a time.
5 Add watercolour marker to a plastic palette. Mix several colours to achieve other shades.
6 Add water with a water brush to dilute and lighten the colour.
7 Paint with the diluted colour.
8 Add a little extra colour for shadows. Brown or black is good.
9 Blend the colour with a water brush.
10 Once the watercolour is completely dry, rub off the drawing gum with your finger.
11 Finally, draw outlines and minor details with a black thin tip.
