"Rising Angels" is an original watercolor, gouache, and pen painting by Victoria K. Chapman. The destroyer angel mushroom is a poisonous variety common in North America. Their white stems and caps gave them the "angel" part of their name, while the poisonous quality gave them the "destroyer" part of their name. Inspired by the documentary film, Fantastic Fungi, this piece and others were created to celebrate the beauty of the fungus world all around us.

This was painted on 300 pound Fabriano hot pressed watercolor paper, using watercolors, metallic watercolors, gouache, pen, and iridescent medium for additional shimmers. In-person this piece is colorful and shimmery. To see a time-lapse video of the process of painting this, check out the Instagram reel.

The painting itself is approximately 4x6" with a 3/4" border.
