Cute Pumpkin In Witch Hat
Easy Watercolor Tutorial for Beginners: Pumpkin with a Witch Hat
How cute is this pumpkin? Don’t you just feel like you’ve got to paint it? But here’s the thing—if you’re still figuring out wet-in-wet, it can feel a little bit frustrating.
Knowing how much water to use and how much paint to add can be a puzzle if no one’s ever shown you how. That’s exactly where this tutorial comes in. You’ll learn wet-in-wet, wet-on-dry, and even a little dry brushing to deepen your values—all techniques you’ll use again and again in every painting.
I’ll guide you step by step at a relaxed, easy pace so you can paint with confidence instead of stress. And the best part? We will use only five colors for the entire painting. I’ll even show you how to take just two colors and mix your own black—no tube black needed.
When you finish this little pumpkin, you’re not just going to have a fun seasonal painting for fall—you’ll also feel so much more confident about the watercolor basics that go into every painting. You’ll finally get that water-to-paint ratio, and you’ll be ready to start your next painting knowing you’ve got the skills to carry you forward.
