In this beginner acrylic painting tutorial I show you step by step how to paint a beginner stack of pumpkins using simple painting techniques. Shading and highlighting the pumpkins with certain colors will make them look more realistic. The splatter technique and colors were inspired by the fall decor stacked pumpkins at Walmart of all places! This easy painting uses splatter paint too. If you do use the splatter technique make sure to cover the background of your painting with some paper or paper towels first.
Happy Painting!
