Have you ever seen a pumpkin house? I’d sure love to stumble on one while walking in a forest!
After creating watercolor pumpkins in my previous post – as well as a beginner watercolor class at Artventure – I thought I’d tickle the fancy of my alcohol marker friends. Maybe YOU will be inspired to try one! In the video I list a bunch of ideas for ways you can customize your own, and I’ll add more in this post after you see the video.
Tutorial: Draw an enchanted pumpkin house
Watch the video below and scroll to the end to leave comments or questions — or click HERE to watch it on YouTube and leave comments over there. I read both dutifully!
Customize your own pumpkin house
There are so many ways you can change up a pumpkin house drawing and make it your own:
- Google for pumpkin colors. There are blues, yellows, whites, stripes…..
- Google for pumpkin shapes too! Short and squat, concave or convex, perfectly round. Lots of options!
- Change the architecture. Use your grandma’s house or a favorite castle as inspiration!
- Give it a yard. Maybe a fence, a garden? What else could you add?
- Add a character! How about a mouse who needs a home?
- Change the time of day or weather. Sunshine? Rainy day?

Thank you, Sandy. I love watching your process videos. They give me courage to keep going during my own projects because I realize that if I stop halfway through when I don’t like the progress, I may be missing out on creating a “masterpiece”. My favorite part about your pumpkin house is the way you sprinkled white dots which I am interpreting as fireflies. I love this.
Love this pumpkin house!
This is just gorgeous
Sandy, this made me feel like a kid again, apple to reg invent and dream. Such a wonderful idea to do a pumpkin house
