Description
Finalized tempera painting on wooden panelI had a problem with this panel: the home made gesso layer started to crack upon drying. Nevertheless, I used this panel to paint on. The cracks are still visible through the multiple colour layers (not the best picture here)...
I guess it was a beginners mistake; I used a wrong ratio of glue/chalk/whitening agent/water together with the fact that the process of gessoing was not carried out correctly. So I prepared a new set of panels, this time using another type of wood and the famous recipe of Cennini for a perfect gesso layer. These panels look pearl white and are very smooth...ready for use

O yes I really like this painting. Took me a long yime to finish it (6 months I guess) but I really like the idea of a mushroom forest.
However, I don't like the regular mushrooom for diner...bwuueeeek. I'm always fishing them out of my plate if I find some....
Thanks, dear friend, for your never-ending support

O yes, the word 'mushrooms' does not only sound soft and yummy, they ARE soft, slippery, rubbery...ooooewaaaahhaaaa. I can feel it in my mouth...
