We are using a 4x12 canvas to make a pretty black-and-white monochromatic pumpkin art piece. This one is super simple to create and only requires a few colors of paint and some clear glass and resin. This is the perfect fall project and would match any home's decor this season!
Start by painting your canvas with two coats of Anita's Black. Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place white tracing paper underneath, and trace your pumpkin onto your canvas with a stylus.
Next, let's paint! I am using white, Oyster White, Storm Gray, and Cableknit Gray. I'm going to start with the Oyster White and paint each section separately, letting a little bit of the black show through between each section.
While that dries, I'm going to add the first coat to the stem. I am using Raw Umber.
Next, I am going to add another coat of Oyster White to my pumpkin and add some light gray and dark gray shadows and highlights on each pumpkin section.
Next, add another coat of Raw Umber to the stem and then add in some Avocado Green and white paint for some highlights and shadows. I'm also going to add a little bit of green to my pumpkin sections.
Let's add glass! I am going to use Starfire glass and add that to a few of the pumpkin sections.
We're going to elevate our canvas using blocks. Mix our resin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour the resin onto your canvas and spread it using your gloved fingers or brush.
Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times!
Then, I'm going to sprinkle some clear seed beads onto my pumpkin.
