Can’t believe summer is almost over!! Time for getting back to school…time to get your learning hats on!! Nimisha has been so excited to get back to school.. not only cause she has been missing her friends but also ’cause it’s gonna be time to enjoy some Fall fun..going to the pumpkin patch, picking out some pumpkins to carve, going on a hay ride and most of all…Halloween!!

So this week we are working on a Fall themed painting that we would love to share with you!!

Below is the blueprint of the painting (medium:color pencils on drawing paper).

The above painting has the following parts that I will illustrate step by step:

1. The tree with branches( highlights are the fall colors yellow, orange and red)

2. The pumpkin patch-the pumpkins are positioned in different ways).

3. The sunflower hiding in the bushes.

4. The two houses- the ranch house( in orange) and the barn house in red).

I will be explaining how to draw each of the above things one by one.

Some of the other highlights on the painting are the far away vegetable gardens and the plantations on the hills.

1. The Tree

The pumpkin patch

The flowers in the bushes

We don’t need to be too perfect in drawing the flower petals, just place some flowers randomly and cover them up with some tall grasses.

The Houses

Now that we have an idea of what all we have in our painting, we need to place them in their spots and there… we have our perfect painting for fall.
