Top Tip
Make sure to wash the pumpkin well before painting to remove any dirt or residue. This helps the paint adhere better and ensures a smooth, long-lasting finish.
How to Make
Step 1
Dip a brush into white paint and roughly sketch the owl's shape onto the pumpkin. This outline will serve as a guide for painting the details and features later, so don’t worry about making it perfect.
Step 2
Begin filling in the body and face by painting the base colours. Use broad brushstrokes to cover the outlined areas, creating a smooth foundation for the owl's features. Let the paint dry before moving on to the details.
Step 3
Add details around the eyes and wings. Use a fine brush to paint patterns, such as feather textures and accents, around the eyes. For the wings, create curved lines or small strokes to mimic the look of feathers, adding depth and character to your owl.
Step 4
Paint the eyes with bold, circular shapes to make them stand out. Use bright colours like white, yellow, or gold for the iris, and add black pupils for contrast. Let the paint dry completely before adding any finishing touches.
