Use your #12 bright flat brush to paint the smaller bump areas in the back of the pumpkin. To create the variations in the orange, load with a little more orange when you load the brush then load with a little more white another time. You don’t need to paint the first bump white first, you can “double load” the brush in white and orange. Let the color blend to create variations of a light orange. When you paint, don’t let your white and orange mix all the way to make one solid color. Make sure your strokes are long and go in a curved direction to form the shape of the pumpkin. Load your brush in cadmium orange hue. Paint the middle part of the pumpkin orange. If there’s a lot of white on your brush, wipe some excess paint off. To paint the pumpkins, you’ll need your 3/4″ flat and cadmium orange hue and titanium white. Start off by painting the middle area of the large pumpkin in with titanium white. Repeat these steps for the smaller pumpkin. Then finish the bump lines in the very back of the pumpkin behind the stem. There should be no more room inside the circle at this point but if there is, you can always draw another set of lines. Then draw two more curved lines that start at the bottom of the stem’s base and go down. Start your chalk at the top at the base of the stem and draw two curved lines opposite from each other so they form almost a cat eye shape on the pumpkin. Start in the middle of the large pumpkin. Then draw the stem shape so that it curves or goes straight up and down (whichever way you want your stems to go).ĭraw an oval on top of the stems to make it look 3D. To draw the stems, start by drawing the curved line just below the top of the circle. This smaller pumpkin will also overlap the larger pumpkin a bit.ĭraw this smaller circle so that it is relatively a little larger than the fist and overlaps the large pumpkin. The second pumpkin is about the size of my fist. As stated above, the size of this circle is the size of both hands as pictured below. The large pumpkin is a circle shape that can fit both hands inside.ĭraw a large circle with a piece of chalk in the lower right part of your canvas. Position both of your hands on the canvas so the fingers are spread out like the picture below. Wait for your painting to completely dry. This allows the paint stroke to be light and feathery and helps with creating the faux wood texture. Don’t add water to the brush and wipe off excess paint with a paper towel. Then paint some vertical lines to represent wood texture. To paint the wood texture, use your #4 round brush and raw umber mixed with a tiny bit of mars black. Paint a little crescent moon shape and some contouring lines around it to represent knots in the wood. Next use your #4 round brush to paint three small dots on the top of the painting to represent nails. Use mars black and a #12 bright brush on it’s tip to paint the thin line. Paint The Faux Wood Linesįirst use a T-Square ruler (or a straight edge) to divide the painting in thirds. Let your painting completely dry (or use a hair dryer) before going on to the next step! 2. Try not to over-blend because if you do, the colors will mix into one solid color and won’t look like a faux wood. The brown and white will blend together to create a faux wood effect.Ĭontinue to paint the canvas filling with this kind of color. Start by using your 3/4″ flat wash brush and the colors raw umber and titanium white. Double load your brush in both the brown and the white (about equal amounts) and paint up and down strokes on your canvas.
