Paint a Sunlit Pumpkin Harvest This Weekend
A step-by-step acrylic lesson with Jed Dorsey. One 8x8 painting, about an hour of teaching, and everything you need to start today.
Instant access. Reference photo and templates included.
What you'll learn
This painting looks complicated: a pile of pumpkins, hay, a fence and a barn, all in bright fall sun. I'll show you how to break it into simple shapes and paint it one clear step at a time.
- How to MAKE SUNLIGHT GLOW on a pumpkin instead of just painting it orange
- How to keep SHADOWS RICH AND COLORFUL, not muddy
- How to SUGGEST HAY and BACKGROUND with a few confident strokes instead of painting every piece
- How to MIX ALL THOSE FALL COLORS from a simple palette
What's included
- The full Pumpkin Harvest video lesson (about an hour)
- The reference photo
- Ready-to-trace templates (8x8 and 12x12)
- A simple supply list: Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Orange, Quinacridone Red, Ultramarine Blue and Phthalo Green
