Fall Pumpkins Class, Freebie

Coloring Pumpkins for Beginners Workshop
Tonight I am teaching a private workshop to beginners, and one of the projects we are coloring is this lovely Fall pumpkin image that we shared as a freebie a year ago or so. It was really popular, so I wanted to use it again.

Here is the image once again, and you are welcome to download it and try coloring it in your own workshops. In fact, here is the handout accompanying my class tonight:



It is generic, as I am using a variety of colors, and no two attendees will have the same colors. You can easily adapt any of your own color combos into this project. However, this is a truly beginner project. The lines show you where to put shadows, and the areas are simple enough that beginners should have no problem experimenting.  Note that when teaching beginners, it is sometimes easier to color large images. I have printed the blank picture out to be about 4 or 5 in. wide, so my attendees can have an easy time. This handout is meant to be printed at 8.5 x 11 in. so beginners can really see the image enlarged and understand where to put shadows.

I hope you find this useful. Please use this to teach others!

    Thank you Marianne. This is brilliant. I tend to learn my colouring with copics by trial and error. Great to have your tutorial to help me along. I came here from Free Digital Stamps but I am going to have a good look around and see what other helpful tips you have.

    I teach Copics (yes, I'm certified!) and I would love to share your freebies with my students. But I can't find a way to download either -- just copy and paste low res images. Am I missing something?

    Thank you for the image and the tutorial. I love using my copics and the shading is really what makes an image look best. Can't wait to color this one. Hmm, I need some more markers. I don't think orange was something I picked for my everyday use and it certainly is needed for this.
