About me
I walk in the forest with a basket, a pencil and a small tin of paints. I draw a mushroom where it grows, then take the sketch home and turn it into a plate: one subject, a name, a line about it and a few notes. I have drawn a hundred or so, and the plates fill a drawer.
I do not teach anyone to eat what they find. I draw them. The plates, the journal pages and the guide are the part that is useful to you if you want to draw too, and the two courses go from a first pencil sketch to a finished watercolour plate. All you need is paper, a pencil and something that grows.
Questions
How do the downloads arrive?
After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. Everything is a PDF made to print on ordinary A4 or Letter paper.
Is there merch?
Yes: tees, mugs, totes, prints and stickers with my own designs. Each is printed to order and shipped by Printful, and the cost and delivery time show at checkout.
Can I use the plates to identify mushrooms?
No. The plates are drawings, not a field guide. Never eat a mushroom unless an expert has identified it for you.
What paper and paints do I need?
Any smooth paper, a soft pencil and a small set of watercolours. The sketching guide lists exactly what I use.
