Amanita Muscaria in Watercolour - Part 1
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Fly Agaric really gives me lovely autumn vibes so I thought it would be quite fitting for our painting project this month. This is not an overly challenging watercolour but you will get to practice your brush control when putting down all those fine lines on the underside of the cap.
