I will be posting lots of tutorials in the upcoming months and today's tutorial is a little inspiration for decorating fall pumpkins! This is a great projects for kids and adults!

Start with a pumpkin or gourd and cover the surface with paint.

Blend paint on the surface of the pumpkin.

Begin to add layers of MESSY swipes of color- letting each layer dry before adding the next layer.

Add layers of drips, splatter, marks and text.

Use stencils, stamps, even collage on the surface- use your pumpkin like you would a mixed media surface.

Try painting on different sizes- challenge yourself to fill the entires surface of the pumkin!
