Materials we used:
Black gift bag from Paperchase
Tangelo Orange, Titanium White, Primary Yellow,
Avocado, Burnt Umber, Lamp Black.
(If you don't have the exact colours listed above but have something similar, use that).
No 8 Angle Brush
No 8 Flat Brush
Luxe Liner Brush
Lettering - Uni Posca Paint Pen (fine) in White
Tracing and Transfer Paper
Pen or Pencil to transfer the design
For this tutorial, you can find our pattern here.
Once you have transferred your design onto your chosen project, because they will sit behind the pumpkins, paint the leaves and add the vines with your liner brush (optional).
We have used the flat brush ruffle stroke to create these but you can paint your leaves however you wish so if you feel more comfortable with comma stroke leaves choose those.
Next, base coat your pumpkin with the flat brush and add light and shade the two side pumpkins as shown in last years tutorial. Again, as these will sit behind the larger centre pumpkin, you only need to paint up to the centre pumpkin.
Note: When adding light and shade, we swapped the flat brush for the Angled Shader as it allows you to be more precise when adding colour. However, feel free to try both and find your preference.
Once dry, base coat and shade the centre pumpkin as shown in the tutorial. When this is dry, looking at the design, you need to bring the centre pumpkin to the front of the design. To do this, float a little Burnt Umber around the outer edges of the larger pumpkin where the centre pumpkin meets the smaller pumpkins as indicated below.
Once the centre pumpkin is dry, transfer the face to the large pumpkin and using your liner brush, fill it using Lamp Black.
Finally, fill in the lettering using the white paint pen.
Once dry, fill your bag with treats ready for Trick or Treaters to pick from or take it out to fill with candy yourself ;)
