I usually can’t figure out the projects / themes, but I knew right away what this one was.
The September 2016 Smart Art theme was Street Art: Banksy!

My Project
I used the markers to get my paint on the board and then blended with the larger brush. For the outline and smaller details I used the small brush that was included. I don’t believe that Banksy has ever done a pumpkin (LOL), but I like mine!
