Heritage Brick Irish Moss Persimmon Tangelo
PUMPKIN
Using a no. 10 dry brush, pick up Persimmon on the toe of the brush and begin laying in the shadows, beginning at the bottom of each section and moving toward the top, making the shadow wider at the bottom and tapering off toward the top. I used very little at the top on the left side; this is my light side. Add more shading, making this a little narrower, again beginning at the bottom and tapering toward the top with Heritage Brick. Add more shading with Black Plum, but only at the bottom of the sections and across the bottom. Clean brush. Take out as much water as you can to have the brush dry. Pick up Tangelo on the toe and add this to the lighter areas. Add reflected light to the bottom right of the pumpkin with Chartreuse Yellow.
