Pretty munchkins


No, this has nothing to do with The Wizard of Oz, but munchkin pumpkins. My local supermarkets have been selling these tiny beauties in the run up to Halloween and I couldn't resist. They are the perfect size for painting. I covered them in a few coats of gesso and then painted them with using watercolours. Maybe next year I'll do a really big one!
You can tell that I was really happy with this project, due to the number of pictures I have taken!
