Friendly Painted Green Witch Face Pumpkin Idea

From pumpkin to porch

1. 1

   Clean and dry the pumpkin

   Wipe the pumpkin surface with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or wax, then let it air-dry completely. Craft acrylic paint adheres much better to a clean, dry rind than to a waxy or damp surface.

2. 2

   Sketch the layout

   Lightly sketch the face oval in the lower center of the pumpkin with a soft pencil, then sketch the black hat triangle above it with the hat base overlapping the top of the face. Keep shapes large and rounded; small details are harder to paint cleanly on a curved surface.

3. 3

   Apply the green face wash

   Mix green craft acrylic with a little water to a semi-opaque consistency and brush the face oval. Apply a second coat once dry for even coverage. Stay inside your sketch lines.

4. 4

   Paint the black hat

   Load a medium flat brush with undiluted black and paint the hat crown and brim as bold flat shapes over the top of the green face area. Let the black fully cover any green that overlaps. Add the purple band as a horizontal stripe across the hat crown while the black is still tacky to get a clean edge.

5. 5

   Add face features and stars

   Once the black hat is dry, use a small round brush to dot on the black eyes, paint the crooked smile line, and add any wart or blush detail. Finish with three yellow star shapes around the hat, keeping them as simple four-or-five-point outlines filled flat.

6. 6

   Seal and display

   Spray with a clear matte craft sealer once all layers are dry, which extends the paint life outdoors. Display on a covered porch table so direct rain does not pool on the surface.
