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