INSTRUCTIONS:

Background: Using a round bristle brush with a dry brush technique, Let’s add some colors. On the up corners use Sunny Day then Saffron Yellow. In the same areas, add Spiced Pumpkin. In the center area, add some Hauser Light Green then Avocado. Trace the line drawing.

Pumpkin: The Basecoat is Marigold. The first shading is Spiced Pumpkin. Then Burnt Umber. For the face details, use Burnt Umber. For the carven thickness use Spiced Pumpkin + Burnt Umber (1:1). For the stalk, use the Avocado and shade with Burnt Umber.

Hat and sweater: Basecoat is Marigold. For the knitting, use a small round brush with Bleached Sand. The brush stroke used is the comma shape. It is important to say that following the clothes shape will offer a better look. Avoid straight directions. Shade with Spiced Pumpkin. The sweater embroidery is Lamp Black. The hat decoration is Avocado + Bleached Sand (1:1) for the leaf and the stalks are Burnt Umber.

Bear: Basecoat with Cocoa. Mix Coca + Bleached Sand and add a layer on the bear area using the stippling technique with deerfoot brush. Shade all sections with Burnt Umber (against the clothes, hands, and feet). Then still using the deerfoot brush highlight the bear shape with Bleached Sand. The face details are Lamp Black. Small dots to the eyes shine with Bleaches Sand.

Lettering: The first Layer is Spiced Pumpkin. Then add a Lamp Black Glazing on each letter.

FINISHING:

Just add a layer of varnish spray.
