Halloween Paint Night Ideas
A Halloween paint night does not need gore to look like October. Silhouettes on a moonlit sky read immediately, they hide shaky drawing, and they finish while the background is still the star.
Moon and cat
Paint a purple or navy sky and a round moon. When the sky is dry, add a black cat as a simple sitting shape on a fence line. The cat is a circle head, a body, two ears, and a tail. Whiskers are optional and easy to overdo.
Window glow
A dark house shape with one yellow window is enough. Add a moon. Skip bricks and roof tiles. The glow is the idea.
Pumpkin at dusk
If the group wants a pumpkin, paint it in front of a dark sky instead of on a white canvas. The orange reads brighter. Full pumpkin steps are in the pumpkin guide, including how many ribs to stop at.
Host your own paint night at The Imagination Hive in Milton, Ontario.
