Doodle Pumpkins 🎃

And now, God, do it again. Bring rains to our drought-stricken lives so those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, so those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.” - Psalm 126 (MSG) 🍁🍂🍃

I’m reflecting on Psalm 126 today,  journaling this passage, and doodling some pumpkins. As we head into a new month and a new season, I would love for you to claim this verse over your life. 🙏

I also have an upcoming workshop on September 28th that I am so excited to share with y’all, and that project is based on this verse. We will be painting a blessing pumpkin and journaling this verse around the pumpkin too. Pumpkins can be a word picture for this verse, so every time you see a pumpkin or create a pumpkin in your artwork, you can be reminded of this meaningful verse! 🎃 Sign up HERE!

When I am practicing my art journaling, I use something called the SWIPE method. I read scripture, then I write it, then I illustrate it or imagine it, then I paint it, and then I encourage others with it. 🎨🖌️

I felt like a pumpkin was the word picture for this verse, so let’s doodle some pumpkins together! I am using a Faber-Castell pen (I am using size B, which I love to use!) Grab a piece of paper and draw a circle with a little indentation on the top. Add a little stem and some curly Q vines. Then, finish it off with some indentation lines. 

Wonky is key! Your pumpkins can be all different shapes and sizes. Pumpkins themselves are not perfectly shaped, so the pumpkins you draw should be imperfect too.

I hope you have fun drawing your pumpkins and reflecting on this verse and the armloads of blessing that God provides for us! 

Sign up to create a mixed-media pumpkin in my online Blessing Pumpkin workshop! A colorful pumpkin that will bring more color and joy to your fall! One that is made with paint and paper. And this pumpkin will be filled with lots of love. It’s more than just a painted pumpkin. But a pumpkin that tells a story and is also a reminder of God’s blessings for you. This online workshop starts September 28th! Sign up HERE!
