Halloween Pumpkin Painting
Painted pumpkins are a neat way to decorate pumpkins without the mess of
gutting and cleaning the pumpkin. It's a fun project, and the pumpkins will
last much longer than a carved pumpkin.
Pumpkin Painting Tips:
-
Before beginning to paint your pumpkins, wash them off to remove any dirt.
Wipe dry.
-
If they were outside in the cold, bring them in and allow them to warm to
room temperature.
-
Place several layers of old newspaper on the table, to absorb any spills.
-
Have paper towels and warm soapy water nearby, to quickly clean up unexpected
spills.
-
Wear old clothing, especially the younger artists.
-
Have several pumpkins handy. Pumpkin painting artist don't want to stop at
just one pumpkin.
-
Use two types of brush, a wide bush for applying paint to larger areas, and
a thin brush for fine detail.
-
If you aren't too creative or artistically inclined, use stencils.
-
Have FUN!!!!!!! ... That's what its all about.
Tip: Try mixing paint colors, to produce different colors and shades.
Pumpkin Paint kits make pumpkin painting easy, even for non-artists (like
me).
