After the paint coat dries.., a photo by donnabezares on Flickr.

I stipple a tan acrylic paint coat in between the ridges to create more depth. I have also, noticed that Stippling Paint adds a Realistic touch. Of course,You could purchase Pumpkins or Gourds, that are pre -painted. However , I do not like that Cheap air brush finish. Yet, the higher quality faux finished Pumpkins can become costly when You need several as I do. Considering, that I like to use them through out our home, on my Mantle and my shelves, etc....
