There's something irresistible about autumn. The beautiful colors, freshly picked apples, pumpkins in every imaginable shade, and that wonderful feeling of making something with your own two hands.
I've gathered four of my favorite fall-inspired soft pastel painting tutorials into one special collection, along with a beautiful 33-page creative journal, to help you celebrate the season with a little more art, beauty, and delight.
Whether you have an afternoon to yourself or simply want something lovely to look forward to, I'd love for you to join me at the easel!

Here's What We'll Be Painting!
Four beautiful autumn-inspired soft pastel painting experiences.
Harvest Workshop: Pumpkins
There's nothing quite like a pumpkin patch in autumn!
In this workshop, we'll capture the abundance of the harvest season using rich autumn colors, loose, expressive marks, and beautiful contrasts of light and shadow.
I'll show you how to suggest a field full of pumpkins without painting every little detail, creating a wonderfully impressionistic scene that feels full of life and color.
Pink Heirloom Pumpkin
Who says pumpkins have to be orange?
I absolutely adore the unexpected colors and wonderfully imperfect shapes of heirloom pumpkins.
In this tutorial, we'll explore soft pinks, muted greens, and delicate highlights as we bring one of these charming pumpkins to life.
You'll discover how light, shadow, and a few thoughtfully placed marks can create dimension while keeping your painting loose and expressive.
Apple Painting: Part One
There's something so satisfying about painting a ripe, juicy apple, especially when you add that final highlight and suddenly it looks good enough to eat!
In this tutorial, we'll explore rich reds, subtle color variations, and the interplay of light and shadow that gives an apple its rounded form.
It's a wonderful exercise in noticing the little details that make an ordinary subject extraordinary.
Apple Painting: Part Two
From a single apple to the abundance of an autumn orchard!
In this painting experience, we'll explore how to suggest apples nestled among branches and foliage using varied marks, layers of color, and little pops of sunlight. I'll show you how to create the feeling of a tree full of fruit without getting caught up in painting every single apple or leaf.
The result is a wonderfully loose, impressionistic celebration of the harvest season.

A Season of Delights
Your 33-Page Magic Makers Creative Journal
One of my favorite parts of Magic Makers has always been creating our monthly journals. They're filled with the things I love sharing most: beautiful art, creative inspiration, encouragement, and little reminders to find more delight in everyday life.
And I'm including one of my favorite autumn editions with your collection!
Inside A Season of Delights, you'll discover:
Seasonal painting guidance for pumpkins, apples, and dahlias.
Harvest Hues, a look at beautiful soft pastel colors for autumn.
Overcoming Fear of the Blank Page, with encouragement and practical ideas for moving beyond perfectionism
The Importance of Delight, a reflection on finding more joy, playfulness, and freedom in your creativity.
Beautiful autumn artwork, a seasonal mood board, and even a cozy mulled apple cider recipe.
It's a little something to enjoy alongside your painting tutorials, whether you're looking for inspiration at your easel or spending a few minutes dreaming about what you'd like to create next.

Your Creativity Is Far Too Important to Be Taken So Seriously.
Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing that being creative meant being talented enough, disciplined enough, or making something impressive enough.
But art should be a source of joy in your life, not another thing you have to get right.
You don't need to make a masterpiece. You just need to give yourself permission to play.
