Introduction: Mushroom House - Watercolor Illustration (PAINTING PROCESS)

About: Hello there! I'm Francesca and I love drawing... that's why I started to share my passion with all of you with speed paintings and tutorials. I hope to inspire your artistic creations with my Instructables! :)

In this Instructable I will show you how I've painted my latest illustration: Mushroom House.

PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE COMPLETE PAINTING PROCESS.

Step 1: Watercolors Used

In the picture you can see the watercolors I've just bought :)

Step 2: Watercolors' Test

This is the test of transparency and granulation of those watercolors. Unless for the white, they are all transparent and bright.

The first four colors (watercolor tubes) are also granulated. Awesome!

Step 3: Base Colors

For test those watercolors I've prepared a simple illustration.

I've started painting wet on wet with very diluited colors, and then I added some shadows.

Step 4: Mushroom Cap

I've painted first base colors wet on wet.

After paint dried, I've added shadows wet on dry.

Step 5: Grass + Reflections

I've colored grass wet on wet using yellow and green.

With white paint I've drawn reflections using a dip pen.

And that's it! :) I hope you enjoyed the process!
