A busy day of pumpkin drawing, I'm finding beauty in the colours of those Cucurbitas today!

My next pumpkin piece is a mixed media drawing made with watercolors, felt tip pen and oil pastels.

The process:

Drawing out the outline with felt tip pen. Adding a light base colour of yellow oil pastel followed by orange to define the shape .

Using a resist technique I added watercolours over the top of the oil pastel. The watercolours went into the gaps between the oil pastels, resisting the surface of the oils pastels.

I left this stage to dry before adding dark oil pastels for the darkest tones.
