Fearless Friday, Fall Vignette
With pumpkins on my mind this week, a little pumpkin art was a must!
Simple sketch with a waterproof .04 liner pen
Coloring from lights to darks
The sunflower petals have a slightly lighter shade in the center, with the darker yellow surrounding
I used watercolor pencils for the background, laying in patches of green, orange and brown
Then blending with a water brush pen
I decided it needed a few more line details
“Fall Vignette” 6″ x 6″ marker, ink, watercolor pencil
I recently purchased a set of 80 Ohuhu markers on Amazon here for under $40
Less than $2 a marker is very reasonable and I like them just as much as the much pricier Copic markers
You can see the wide color range below, which includes skin tones and grays
The kit includes a color chart but I recommend making your own for reference
The true color and how the color appears on the paper you use can differ from the chart provided
Note: you can soften the edges of your marker strokes by blending with colored pencils
Happy creating, Be Fearless!

This is so lovely Jenna. For this non-painter it is interesting to follow your steps. I think you have a great way to reference the color you need by making your own color chart. You are so organized! Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Ha, let’s just say I try to be organized, you should see my garage, it’s a huge mess! But it’s too hot to clean it up! Roll Tide!
Just beautiful Jenna! I love the combination of sunflowers and pumpkins…perfect this time of year when it’s supposed to feel like fall but the summer heats is still hanging on! Happy Weekend ♥
Well at least pumpkins and sunflowers can help us pretend it’s fall!
Jenna, pumpkins and sunflowers are the perfect autumn combo. If only autumn would arrive with cooler temperatures, that would be wonderful! Happy Friday 🧡
Thanks Pam, yes we are all tired of melting! Roll Tide!
I love your vignette drawing, Jenna! I am so ready for fall….I’m sick of the theat we’ve had these past two weeks! I might draw or paint a sunflower soon….I’m inspired by your drawing!
Have a great weekend!
Oh good! Have fun and yes, please turn down the heat 😅
I love your pumpkins!
Thanks Sharon!
I like your oahu markers. I think I’m due. Many of mine have dried up or aren’t looking their best. Are these stinky? Love the finished piece!
No they don’t smell at all, great value for the price~
Love, love, love this piece! You’ve combined the best parts of fall: pumpkins of different colors and shapes and happy brightly colored sunflowers! Beautiful!!
Thank you Rosie!
Your pumpkins are wonderful! 🧡😀
Thanks Patty Anne 🎃
I always enjoy seeing the process. Love the pumpkins. Have a good weekend, Jenna.
Thank you Katie, happy weekend!
Jenna you make it look so easy….why don’t mine turn out like that? LOL
ha, well it does take practice, if you keep a daily sketch book and use it every day you will watch yourself improve!
Beautiful Jenna! 😊 Looks like a great color selection in markers too! Score! 👍💕
I bought a smaller set of Ohuhu markers several years ago and wasn’t too impressed, but they have improved them now, and I really like this new set and the color selection is perfect!
WELL Done! You do make it look easy.
Thank you Bonnie!
Pumpkin love! Happy fall, Jenna. I hope you enjoy your weekend.
Thank you Rita, we are just pretending it’s fall here, temps in the 90s this week!
Pumpkin love!! ❤️
Thanks Jodi!
How seasonally beautiful! I have bookmarked this post and may actually try sketching some pumpkins myself. I appreciate your tutorials more than you know. They are so inspiring, and it’s so helpful to be given sources as well!
Thank you Pattie, it makes me so happy to know I’ve inspired your inner artist!
so pretty! You’re very talented.
thank you!
I LOVE your tutorial, Jenna, and I really should try it. One day I’m going to show you my angel that I painted, with my son’s teaching. I think that this set of markers would be something I’d love! Thank you for sharing.
Treat yourself Kitty and have fun!!
Thanks for sharing this great tutorial for us Jenna !
I will try it soon.
Hugs,
Fabby
