Wheat
3. Double load the 3/4" Flat with Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre, using the chisel edge of the brush leading with the Yellow Ochre side; paint the wheat bundle.
4. Flip the brush to lead with the Burnt Sienna side and make the top portion of the wheat more yellow than the lower portion.
 
Pumpkins
5. Double load the #12 Flat with Pure Orange and Autumn Leaves, using the flat side of the brush and keeping the Autumn Leaves to the outer edge; paint the pumpkins. Occasionally pick up a touch of Burnt Sienna to vary the colors.
6. Load one corner of the #12 Flat with Burnt Sienna, using the flat side of the brush and keeping it against the pumpkins, add shading around the outer edge of the pumpkins.
 
Stems, Leaves and Finishing Touches
7. Load the #6 Flat with Thicket, using the chisel edge of the brush; paint the stems.
8. Using the same brush but using the flat side of the brush; paint the leaves.
9. Pick up some Yellow Ochre on the same loaded brush and stroke over the larger leaves. Load the #2 Script Liner with Burnt Sienna, Paint a tie on the wheat bundle and then loops for the bow. Load the #2 Script Liner with Thicket; pull stems into the leaves and then add a few curls.
 
Finishing Touches
Option 1: Allow the paint to dry overnight and then place in a cool oven. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees. When the oven reaches the proper temperature, bake for 30 minutes. When the time has elapsed, turn off the oven but do not open the door until completely cool.
Option 2: Allow the paint to air cure for 21 days prior to hand washing.
