The finished pumpkin.

               It's been a real learning curve completing this picture but I have enjoyed doing it!

The longest task was loading the pictures onto the blog!

Developing the Pumpkin

I am unsure what to call this vegetable, at present I'm calling it a pumpkin but it could be called a Gourd!  Whatever you will see I decided on the pale background shade for the foreground, then used a darker shade for the shadow.
The second image has had richer shades of the orange and green applied.  Tomorrow I'll display the complete picture.

Autumn Show Unusual Pumpkin

First stage, which has turned out well but I'm wishing I'd put in the background colour first.
