Happy Halloween! For this painting I gathered my favorite reference images of pumpkins and squash from both my own image library and the web, and compiled them into a single picture.
The painting started with a watercolor wash over the paper, so that the bright white wouldn't make it harder to mix the proper colors. It turned out I had difficulty mixing colors anyway. As the gif below shows, I went over several of the squashes and pumpkins more than once when their colors did not come out like I wanted.
I'm pleased with how it turned out, but mixing gouache colors is still a challenge for me. It's definitely an area I will look into improving.
