Miniature Pumpkin in Water Colour
A botanical art tutorial by Emma Tildesley.
Fall has fallen, and what better subject to paint at this cosy time of year than a little pumpkin? 🎃
This is a lovely subject for practising how to capture form and create a convincing sense of roundness. There are some beautiful highlights, shadows and reflected light to look out for, all of which help to give the pumpkin its lovely shape.
I hope you enjoy creating along with me, and as always, happy painting! 🍂
