October snow on the pumpkin

I drew a cat face on this pumpkin and set it out about 3 weeks ago. Last night we had our first snow. Barely an inch, but wa-ay too early, even for NH!

More is forecast for tomorrow.

trying new paint mixes

I got out tubes of w/c paint I seldom use, colors that aren't in my favorite palette mix, and started playing.

I never use white in watercolors, but this time I mixed it with indigo, which is otherwise too black for me, and got this interesting blue.

The orange is Winsor orange, and the green is the orange mixed with Prussian blue. Very autumnal, so I had to draw a pumpkin.
