Painting Information

The painting of mushrooms, known as Angel Wing or Oyster mushrooms is created in a hyper-realism style on canvas.

The painting was painted on archival quality canvas manually stretched on gallery stretcher bars. Gallery stretcher bars are twice as thick (1 3/8") than the standard canvas bars (3/4"). The canvas is then primed with Liquitex White Gesso. Liquitex acrylic paint is the brand of acrylic paint used, sealed with Liquitex Varnish Gloss as a protective coat.

The method used to create this painting is available on my blog this shows step by step process from the sketch to color blocking to the finished painting.
