Art Project - Pumpkin Stack
This art project will have 2 parts. We’re going to start with the Pumpkin Stack and then get to the Jack-O-Lantern Stack in a couple weeks…for obvious reasons. I created a video of my process in stories format so you’ll have to go to Youtube to watch or you can use my reference and find your own way to the end. I didn’t know what my steps were going to be as I started working, I just knew I wanted to work quickly and I wanted to try and add a bit of shading.
The Goal:
To work on getting loose and working on shading.
The Materials:
Watercolour paint and colour pencils…use what you have.
The Process:
Start by painting your pumpkin shapes in a light orange colour. Starting light will allow you to get darker in your layers.
With a brighter orange, paint in your quick shading and pumpkin lines.
Continue to go darker and darker in your layers and add shadow where the pumpkins meet. I kept my darker colours to the bottom of the pumpkins.
Add some highlights, if you can, to give it a bit of reflecting light.
Share your art with Brina!
How you finish this art project will be completely yours, even if you do exactly what I did, and that’s something to celebrate. Share your art with me on Instagram and I’ll share with my friends! This is Hester Hamilton’s Mushroom house.
