5x7 oil on gessoboard
This decoration sits in my living room and I kept admiring how pretty it was in the late afternoon light. Why not paint it?!
Here's the underpainting I did (in oils) the first day.
The next three images were photographed as I painted the following day.
This isn't really a lesson on how to paint. This is simply showing you how I painted this one.
I had the plans all laid out that first day, so I just worked across the pumpkin bit by bit, making it pop realistically to keep up my excitement. I usually add highlights and such later but I was impatient to see what it was going to look like. This little painting was for fun and for me. The next morning I worked on finishing the leaves. It was good for me to have the deadline of a holiday to meet.
This one was focused and fast.
Thanks for stopping by!
