2. Next, using the filbert brush and the silver paint,  add a tombstone shape in the middle of the grass. It will be curved at the top, and straight at the bottom.

3. Using the darker gray, outline one side of the silver shape to create depth.

4. Now using the same dark gray, and the small round brush, write RIP inside of the gravestone.

5. Next,  add two orange shapes for the pumpkins, one bigger than the other. Then using the white face paint, add a ghost to the side of the grave and above the pumpkin. I gave this ghost two hands coming out of the side.

7. Finally, outline the design with the small round brush and the black face paint.  Paint two eyes and a mouth for the ghost, Also outline the RIP letters, only outlining one side of each letter to create depth. Outline the pumpkins and add a few quick brush strokes to the grass as well. Happy Halloween!
