Here’s why I spent 30 YEARS putting together my book

75 Years. 1,000's of Paintings. One Life’s Work in Art. Todays video tells you about my 30 year journey to document a part of the natural world people rarely see even though it is all around us, the amazing world of mushrooms & fungi captured in watercolour. I'll explain that journey & paint a Candlestuff fungus (or Stags Horn) whilst sharing the story of how it all got started...join me & feel free to paint along or relax and enjoy the tale! Thank you for coming with me... Welcome to the official channel of Dave Mitchell, botanical artist and author of A Brush with Fungi. Thank you for joining me here, I've spent my life as an artist, taught in schools & colleges & have been fortunate enough to have my work exhibited all over the world. Much of my work has been dedicated to nature & the countryside although I'm fond of an interesting building every once in a while, such as being inspired by the magnificent architecture of Venice & Rome. For over three decades, I have travelled the British countryside with a singular mission: to document the fleeting, forensic beauty of mushrooms and fungi through the traditional medium of watercolour. At 75 years old, I am sharing my lifetime of sketches, field notes, and painting techniques with a new generation of nature lovers, artists, and mycologists. On this channel, you’ll find: • Tips, tricks and tutorials to help you with your artistic journeys. • Botanical Art Tutorials: How I capture the intricate textures of the forest floor. • The Stories Behind the Fungi: Tales from 30 years of foraging and painting in the wild. • Behind the Scenes: A look at my self-published book, featuring over 400 original illustrations. Whether you’re here for the "Cottagecore" aesthetic, deep scientific mycology, or to learn watercolour painting, I’m honoured to have you join me in celebrating all forms of art & the beauty of the natural world.
