Today it is difficult for me to remember the day when I specially went to the forest in order to gather mushrooms.
Once I walked tens of kilometers through the forest if it was required in order to find a mushroom eldorado but each time it was early morning when the sun was just beginning to rise when the morning fog swirled in the forest glades.
That was a wonderful time.
The first steps when you cross the threshold of the forest are like entering a perfume shop when smells in a special way excite your brain and olfactory receptors.
The fog as it were connects all the smells together and you feel the merger of the smell of tree bark pine resin needles and fallen leaves and the incredible aroma of mushroom mycelium which envelops the entire turf like cobwebs.
I tried to create the atmosphere of such a morning mushroom trip in this picture.
Yes I can not recreate all the scents of the forest but I tried to portray a foggy atmosphere.
The most difficult thing for me was to understand how to depict fog, a translucent substance from which the silhouettes of people and trees will smoothly appear.
At the same time, I could only rely on a pencil with a graphite rod and an eraser.
It’s not for me to judge how I did it, but while I was painting, I could say I visited the forest, felt the coolness of the morning mist, perhaps wet my feet in wet grass and smelled the aroma of mushrooms.
This was my next drawing, some of the drawings you have already seen, and some I still have to publish.
See you again!
Zoom in on a photo for a closer view.
More to come!

Have a blessed day!
