Learn to Use Pen and Wash to Paint this Stunning Fly Agaric Toadstool Illustration

The Fly Agaric is that instantly recognised toadstool from fairy tales. Many people are often surprised that it actually is a real toadstool, and indeed that it looks very much like the classic image! It can be found from late summer through into early winter, usually growing under pines, spruces or birch trees.

With the pen and wash study, we begin by inking in the outline image, and then apply the watercolour to give the toadstool its familiar colours. This is a great project to work on, I certainly really enjoyed it and I hope you do too. With a relatively straightforward image to work from, the most challenging aspect is the grass. But take your time, and hopefully this is a tutorial that all levels of ability will be able to have a go at.
