Autumn Mushrooms - Dot painting

Autumn Mushrooms dot painting to start with

A cluster of mushrooms pushing up through moss and leaves. The shapes are generous and the detail is forgiving, which makes this one of the easier designs to begin on if you have never dotted before.

There is no paint, no mess, and no drying time involved. You simply use the special markers to follow the template and create a masterpiece.

Everything included

Nothing extra to buy:

• Canvas with the pattern printed: sturdy and clearly readable.
• Guide: short instructions for a confident start.
• Markers with a wide and a fine side:
  • 1.0 mm side: for the caps and the stems.
  • 0.5 mm side: for the gills underneath and the moss around them.

Easy to share with someone

Several mushrooms means several separate jobs, so two people can work the same canvas without getting in each other's way. It takes about a minute to explain the technique.

This is a great project for long winter evenings and rainy weekends. Enjoy it together with your partner or use it to get off your screens at night.

Gills, caps and the dark below

The underside of a mushroom is the darkest part of the picture and the cap the lightest. Holding that difference is all the design asks of you, and it is what makes the cluster look rounded.
