A Month of Pumpkins - Day 5

My friend Theresa shared some pumpkin references with me and this painting is based on one of them. If it looks a little different from my other watercolors that's because I gessoed my watercolor paper first, not completely, I dripped some gesso on it then swirled it around with my brush, let it dry and then painted on top. It gives some really interesting texture underneath the watercolor.

I can't wait to see this with the textured paper. I bet the bumpy gourds look great with the texture . Thanks for the link!
