Summer of Colour: Brown

My attempt for Twinkle Twinkle Summer of Colour theme this week, which is brown. I looked at various pictures of mushrooms to do this one and then just started on the sketch based on my memory. It's a technique I read in Carla Sonheim's book, Drawing Lab.

Shall we just call this piece an impressionist-style sketch?

I intentionally left the scan of my sketch book uncropped. It felt necessary to give you a sense of the borders of the sketch.

Done with Inktense for background,
water soluble wax pastels and plain old kiddy
oil pastel for the sketches
