Next, repeat the orange on the second pumpkin. Make sure your strokes are going in a curved manner in the same direction as the white paint. In the same manner that the white was painted, paint over the pumpkin with orange.Ĭontinue to paint the pumpkin orange. In like manner, repeat the technique on the second pumpkin. Also, the white is not solid, 100% white.
The curves will meet in the center to form a “cat eye” shape. Notice the direction of the paint is switched on the left. Then continue to paint in the pumpkin white using curved strokes. Your strokes MUST curve in this direction to create the effect. These curves will represent the curves of a pumpkin.
Next, with a medium flat brush, paint curved strokes of white. Paint a smaller round shape next to that. Next with your same small round brush, paint an arc, or part of a circle in the lower left corner. Some dots are clustered together like constellations, some are larger, some smaller. Paint the dots unevenly for a more realistic effect. Paint small white dots everywhere on the canvas to represent stars. Add water to your paint brush and the blue paint to make the paint flow faster and cover easier. Start with a blank canvas in “landscape” position.
