Pumpkins & Heritage Gourds — 20 Watercolour Templates + Colour Recipe Cards (Premium Reference Set)
Twenty heritage pumpkin and gourd varieties — the powdery blue-grey of Marina di Chioggia, the warty pink of Galeux d'Eysines (the peanut pumpkin), the silvery-white Lumina, the deep red Rouge Vif d'Etampes (the original Cinderella pumpkin). Drawn as soft pencil lineart with painted references and recipe cards.
For the painter who waits for the autumn farmer's-market display — every one of these has a personality, and the recipe cards mean you can paint each one's colour distinctly.

TIPS FOR PAINTING THEM
Ridged pumpkins (Cinderella, Marina) reward darker glazes in the ridge shadows — build with at least two layers. Warty surfaces (Galeux) need dotted darker texture once the base is dry, not while it's wet. Soft pumpkin highlight is reserved paper, not white paint.
