Umbrella, ombrelle, parasol, parapluie, they all say one thing…sketch me!
An umbrella is easy to draw..right? DING! Wrong!
So many things to consider: Convex, concave, round, shadows, transparency, folds, foreshortening, colour, patterns…
A good challenge!

There is something so charming about umbrellas. I’m not sure what it is, the skirt-like femininity, the carousel-like gaiety? Lovely colors and sketches, Ronelle.

You did it, again, Ronelle. I need to look at these over and over just like Monique.
Thank you so much.

Great work – it doesn’t look like you had trouble drawing them. Refreshing colors and lots of vibrancy in the splatters and blobs of color
