Nature Journal - Mushroom
Every Thursday night a group of 12 or so artists join me at the Mentone-Mordialloc Art Group for an evening of drawing and conversation. This week we were very lucky to be invited by one of the Thursday Nighters to the Victoria Golf Club to walk around, take photos and do some nature journalling/plein air drawing. The golf course is beautifully designed and features large areas of native eucalypts and teatrees. Lots of lorikeets and ducks seen! Sadly, the frogmouths were well hidden in the trees and could not be spotted. I found a large mushroom and did a quick sketch of it in the fading light, then refined the sketch in the studio this morning. No idea what type of mushroom this is, although I suspect it is very common. One of the Agaric's? If anyone can identify this mushroom let me know please.
Initial sketch drawn on site. About 5 minutes using a yellow ochre water soluble pencil and a 4B water soluble graphite pencil.
Refined sketch back in the studio with notes included.
Photographic reference.
It was a very enjoyable evening - Thank you Chris and the VGC.
