PUMPKINS IN WATERCOLOUR
FOR PAINTERS WHO LOVE COZY AND COLORFUL
Pumpkins are gloriously forgiving - uneven, wonky, and wonderfully colourful.
Dive into a cosy autumnal subject that rewards playfulness, celebrates imperfection, and teaches you more than you'd expect about values, volume, and vibrant colour combinations.
If you’ve dabbled a little in watercolour before and are ready to build real watercolour skills through subjects that feel like play (and maybe add a cute face or two along the way), this course is for you!

Sketchbook Success
Don't let the cute faces fool you.
These little doodles are sneakier than they look!
Is there a more fun way to discover painting essentials like values, planes, and volume?
I don't think so!
Cosy seasonal smiles... for both you and your sketchbook.
Colour
Courage
Worried that adding bold colour might ruin everything?
Pumpkins are the perfect place to play. Simple and forgiving, they let you swap colours, try something unexpected and just see what happens.
You'll learn when to stick with your reference and when to go your own way.
Hello, colour confidence!
Paint a Whole Series
We'll paint two pumpkin paintings together, step by step. You'll also get the line drawings and reference photos so you are guided, step by step, all the way.
But there is no need to stop there!
With your new skills AND a whole library of curated references to choose from, you'll be itching to paint a series of your own.
Pumpkins in Watercolour
Bright colours, forgiving shapes and plenty of autumn joy. What's not to love?
We begin with a sketchbook project using watercolour and coloured pencils, a truly fun way to discover how to use values, volume, and the magic of showing dimension through carved faces.
Next, we'll paint a quick study to explore the rainbow of pumpkin possibilities.
🌈Discover vibrant colour combinations in YOUR palette that really sing. 🎶
Finally, we'll create a warming autumn scene with a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins. You'll learn how to take a simple photo and make it your own.
By the end, you'll have a collection of paintings that capture the cozy energy of the season, plus skills you can use in anything else you'd like to paint.

FAQs
What supplies do I need?
I always recommend that you use what you already have. There is no need to use exactly the same supplies or colours as I am using.
I always include details of exactly what I use in each lesson but the broad basics include:
- 300gsm cold pressed watercolour paper either loose sheets, pads or sketchbooks - whatever you like best or have to hand
- a large round watercolour brush, and possibly a rigger (although even that is very much optional)
- watercolour paints
- a sketchbook or just loose sheets of copier paper and a pencil for sketching
How long do I have access to the course materials?
If you purchase the Standalone Edition of Pumpkins in Watercolour you will have instant and ongoing access to the materials.
If you purchase the membership you will have instant access to not only the Pumpkins in Watercolour class but also to the entire growing library of Happy Painters Hub courses. Your access to all of these courses will continue for as long as you choose to pay your low monthly membership subscription.
How does the membership pricing work?
If you subscribe to the membership, you will automatically be charged on a monthly basis. The membership fee is very low at the moment because the Hub is still relatively new. Over time, more and more content will be added so it is likely that the fee will increase in future enrolment periods.
However, when the subscription fee increases, existing members will continue to pay the low fee they originally signed up for.
That means you never have to worry about the subscription fee increasing for as long as you are a continuing member.
Don’t worry - that doesn’t mean you are stuck with me forever, cancelling or changing your billing details is easy. You can do it all yourself!
How would I cancel the membership?
Just click on Your Account from your student dashboard and you can easily edit your credit card details or cancel your subscription with a couple of clicks.
