Laughing Pumpkins
Laughing Pumpkins. Acrylics on acrylic paper. Ulla Hennig, November 2012
I know – Halloween is over, but somehow those pumpkins wanted to be painted. I imagined them having fun, rolling on the floor, laughing. I found out that you can get a very nice dark orange by mixing yellow ochre with vermillion.
Regarding the background I first put down a layer of burnt ochre, but it didn’t seem dark enough for me, so I painted over it with black, mixing the two colours on the acrylic paper.
