Various Pumpkins and Gourds

With Hallowe’n afoot, the hops have their annual stack of ornamental pumpkins and gourds. These are some watercolours I have done of the ones I bought this year – making good use of the lovely Van Gogh Pyrrole Orange! I’ve tried in these to really focus on the details, and use glazes and layering to get the textures.

I am trying to dry some of these, sadly with limited success so far.

At least I have memorialised their gorgeous colours and patterns in these studies.
