Scary pumpkin painting FAQ
- What paint should I use for a scary pumpkin?
- Acrylic craft paint is the go-to: it covers the waxy skin in one or two coats, dries fast, and cleans up with water while wet. Wipe the pumpkin clean and dry first, sketch the design in pencil or chalk, then block in the big shapes before the details. Paint pens work great for fine lines like whiskers and lettering.
- How long does a painted pumpkin last?
- Weeks longer than a carved one, since the shell stays sealed. Keep it out of direct sun and rain and an uncarved painted pumpkin commonly lasts a month or more. A quick coat of clear acrylic sealer or spray varnish protects the design if it lives outside.
