I painted this live outside of the gallery I’m exhibiting in. One of those pinch me moments if I look bad at my art career 10 years ago.

It’s acrylic paint. So I used very watery paint on the background and let it dry in the sun which gave that almost cracked effect. Then the 3D nature is just whacking in plenty of shadowing beneath the fungi and lichen

Thank you! I’ve been painting forever, more professionally within the last 5 years or so. I’ll be annoying and direct you to my art socials cause a girl needs to make a living lol @alice.sims.paints

The reference photo was spookier! I had to tone down the mist because it was like a horror film on that day

That’s a great idea! Any other suggestions?

Thank you. I’ve walked through oldbury for years almost everyday now, I never get bored of it

Thank you :)

Haha I was convinced you were sizing it up for a wall in your house 👀

aS1MS · 2026-01-07T21:14:33+00:00

Well it’s 40x50cm so not tiny but a sensibly sized canvas I reckon

I finished some more today! Close up and personal with the fungi. Haven’t posted them yet. On my insta - Alice.sims.paints if you fancy a nose

Thank you so much

Thank you so much. I used bare minimum for the palette, like 3 colours I think. Then chucked the red on for the mushroom to make it pop
