I'm excited to welcome a special guest, Steve, as we team up to create a Halloween-inspired Pumpkin Head art piece! We'll guide you through each step, from blending the perfect background to adding character with highlights, shadows, and glass details that give it a unique pop. Whether you're decorating for Halloween or just love seasonal art, this project is a great way to get creative!

Begin by swirling white paint in the center of your canvas, moving outward in a circular motion until about 90% of the surface is covered. Then, switch to black paint, blending it in circular strokes from the edges toward the center, creating a gradient that’s darkest around the edges and lightens as it meets the white. Paint the sides of the canvas black for a seamless, finished look. Finally, use a heat tool to dry.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place white graphite paper underneath, and use a stylus to trace your pumpkin head man.

Now, let's add a base coat to all of his...

 

Create a stunning, textured pink pumpkin canvas with this step-by-step guide! We’ll start by tracing our pumpkin and painting it in soft shades like Vintage Pink, Teaberry, and Summer Peach for a beautifully blended look. Then, we’ll add a turquoise background, delicate gold details, and even a bit of sparkle with glass and resin accents.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your pumpkin with a stylus. 

I’m using three beautiful shades of pink on my pumpkin: Vintage Pink, Teaberry, and Summer Peach. We’ll work on each section one at a time for a soft, blended look. Start with the large center section by painting it in Vintage Pink. Next, add Teaberry to one side and Summer Peach near the top. Blend a touch of white paint in the middle for dimension. Repeat this technique for each section around the pumpkin.

Next, paint the stem with Traditional Burnt Umber. I'll also add white paint on...

Get ready to bring some spooky campfire magic to life! In this project, we’ll craft mini marshmallows from clay and create a glowing bonfire scene complete with a cute ghost. We'll paint flames and our ghost, add elements like sticks and rocks, and finish it off with glass, beads, and resin for sparkle. Perfect for all skill levels, this fun and festive project will leave you with a unique art piece, just in time for the spooky season!

For this art project, I'm crafting mini marshmallows using Crayola Model Magic. Start by pinching off a small amount of clay and rolling it into a ball to soften it. Then, shape it into a cylinder. Using a knife or scissors, cut the cylinder into small sections to form marshmallow-sized pieces. Gently roll and press each piece until it resembles a marshmallow. To add detail, use a toothpick to poke a hole in one end, and then place it on a small twig. Let the marshmallows harden for 24 hours. To finish, I'll use a blow torch to give them a...

Today, we're diving into a fun fall art project perfect for the season - creating a textured pumpkin on an 8x8 canvas using paint, decoupage, and glass! We'll start by prepping the canvas with rustic decoupage paper and adding a colorful, textured background. We'll embellish it with glass details like clear vase nips and crushed glass for that extra sparkle!

Apply a coat of Mod Podge to your 8x8 canvas and lay your rustic decoupage paper on top. Smooth it down with your hands and dry it with a heat tool. Add another coat of Mod Podge on top to seal the background. Tear off any excess paper and dry again.

Paint the edges of your canvas with Americana Red Spice. I'll also blend in Traditional Burnt Umber for a more messy and textured look. Dry with your heat tool. I'll come in with a 1/4-inch brush and add some spots of Spa Blue paint on the edges too. 

I want to create a surface for my pumpkin to sit on. About an inch above the bottom of your canvas, use a sponge brush to...

I am using a wooden canvas for this art piece, which means it is very porous. Start by adding three coats of Americana Buttermilk to your background. Lightly sand your canvas in between coats. 

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your flag with a stylus.

Paint your stripes with red paint and white paint, and paint the square with blue paint. You will need to add multiple coats to get the coverage you would like! Add lighter...

Looking for a one-of-a-kind pumpkin project this fall? We're creating a bold, wild, and totally fun foil pumpkin art piece that combines a mix of vibrant foils, metallic paints, and glass and resin. I’m here to walk you through every step - from tracing your pumpkin to adding those stunning foils and finishing off with a glossy resin coat.

Start by painting your canvas with two coats of black acrylic paint. Then, lightly sand it with sandpaper to create a smooth finish. Let dry.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place white graphite paper underneath, and trace your pumpkin with a stylus.

Decide where to place each type of foil on your pumpkin. I will apply a leopard print foil to two different sections, so I'll paint those with Metallic Black acrylic paint. I'll paint the rest of my pumpkin sections with a mix of Metallics Pearl Fruit Punch, Metallics Peacock Pearl, Scarlet (orange), and white paint. I'll also paint the stem with Metallics Festive Green. Dry with...

I'm thrilled to be joined by two incredible guest artists - Christie Hawkins from The Social Easel and Kasey Hope with P'zazz Art Studio. Together, we're crafting textured metallic pumpkins on a 6x6 canvas, perfect for adding a festive touch to your fall decor. Not only are these pumpkins adorable and super easy to make, but I'm also giving mine a unique twist by incorporating beachy elements like mini shells, starfish, Starfire glass, and seed beads. 

We are going to use modeling paint to create a textured pumpkin! Load a palette knife with modeling paste, make a large circle, and then create sections on each side in a "parenthesis" shape. Add your stem as well. Let dry for an hour or two.

I'll paint my pumpkin with Metallic Peal paint and blend in Metallic Ice Blue. I'll paint my background with Metallic Rose Shimmer and use dark pink to go around my pumpkin to create a shadow. I'll also paint the stem with Metallic Gold. 

Take the flat side of your brush and...

I'm sharing how to make this creative glass art project where we’ll be painting a bright and cheerful lemon-themed piece. I’ll walk you through each step, from tracing the lemons onto your canvas to adding vibrant colors and finishing touches with glass bottle rings. This tutorial is perfect for anyone, whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out!

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your lemons with a stylus. You don't have to trace all of the details, but just the shape of your lemons.

Next, we will paint our background with a blend of Desert Turquoise, Bahama Blue, and white paint, making sure to go around our lemons. Paint the sides of your canvas too, and dry with a heat tool.

Paint your leaf with a basecoat of Hauser Green Light. Dry it with a heat tool and add a second coat of paint. Add shadows with Plantation Pine and highlights with white paint. 

Now, let's work on our lemons!...

In this tutorial, we're creating a fun football-themed glass art project! We'll start by painting a vibrant green field, then add details like a football and field lines. I'll show you how to mix colors, trace your design, and finish it off with some sparkly glass pieces and resin. Whether you're new to this or have some experience, this is a great way to try out some new techniques and create something amazing!

Start by painting the bottom of your canvas with Holly Green. Add two coats to your canvas, and dry it with a heat tool between coats. I'll also blend in a little bit of white paint.

Next, I'll paint the top part of my canvas with Holly Green mixed with white paint to create a lighter green.  I'll also dab in some darker green on top to create some dimension. Dry with a heat tool.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace the football, field lines, and upright with a stylus.
