Easy Watercolour Pumpkin 🎃

A quick, fun autumn painting for all skill levels — perfect for a cosy creative session.

You’ll Need:

  • Watercolour paints (orange, yellow, brown, and green)

  • Watercolour paper

  • Medium round brush & fine detail brush

  • Jar of water & paper towel

Steps:

  1. Outline the Shape
    Lightly sketch a pumpkin — start with a wide oval in the middle and add curved segments to each side.

  2. Paint the Base Colour
    Using a watery orange, fill each segment. While still wet, blend in touches of yellow toward the centre for highlights and brown near the edges for shadow.

  3. Add the Stem & Details
    Paint the stem with green mixed with a little brown. Use a fine brush to define the segment lines and add a few curling vines if you wish.

✨ Let the colours flow and overlap — that’s the beauty of watercolour!
