There is a simple SECRET for doing a drawing or painting of a pumpkin!
Hint: Check out the way the pumpkin has lots of lumps and bumps.
First, sketch out the pumpkin being careful to include all of the vertical lines and make sure you sketch the part behind the stem as well.
If you are doing your pumpkin in color practice using yellow as your
under painting and build up
your layers with orange, alizarine crimson,sap green and burnt sienna to
create your lights and darks.
For your final painting be sure to create a caste shadow under your pumpkin with the complementary colors mixed with a dash of orange. Notice how the core shadow has a lot of orange showing. Enjoy!
