from clay forms to a small world.

form + texture

The unpainted views show the mushroom cluster before color: rounded caps, varied stems and carved surface details. They make the construction easier to see before the finish becomes the focus.

Stroke + Coat + undercoats bring red, yellow, blue and purple into the finished cluster. The close views below follow the ridges, cap textures and overlapping forms from several angles.
