Shades of White Painted Pumpkins
HAPPY FALL!
What better way to usher in the Fall season then to paint some pumpkins! I don’t go all out seasonal decorating, but I always love to have a display of small pumpkins in a tray. Orange just does not fit in my color scheme so I decided to neutralize them with paint.
I purchased 10 Jack-Be-Little pumpkins.
I wanted to paint them in varying shades of white to emphasize the ridges and texture of the pumpkins.
I painted the pumpkins in Simplicity, Vanilla Frosting and Cheesecake.
Some Antiquing Wax was was brushed on, and which brought out all the rich texture and ridges of the pumpkins. I think this makes them look a little more realistic.
