Greetings from Mrs. Chaplin! 

For October, we will paint pumpkins! Here is the link for the outline for you to print, and the link for the reference photo.

It’s best to print onto 8.5 x 11 watercolor or mixed media paper (If your watercolor paper is too large, you can cut it down). A second option is to layer a blank piece of watercolor paper over the image, hold them both up on a bright window, and trace onto the watercolor paper. Please have your image ready, your watercolors, a fine tip brush and a thicker brush, a Micron fine tip pen, a few paper towels, and a cup of water ready to go when the class begins. If you'd like a border around your final painting, you can use masking tape or blue painters tape to achieve this look like Mrs. Chaplin's.

See you then! 

RESOURCES:

The Peerless Watercolors Mrs. Chaplin uses can be found here. You can use any watercolors you'd like, though!
