These are six A5 drawings done from photos that I've taken over a couple of years, mostly from my car window when stopped at traffic lights or the side of the road, or while my husband was driving. I've always loved the sight of these women walking along with their umbrellas shielding them from the hot sun and wanted to sketch them - but they're moving, and I'm moving and it's been a bit impossible. So when I was thinking what to do for the
Night of a 1000 Drawings charity event I decided to pull out my blurry photos and make a little series to donate. I kind of want to keep them now, but too late - they're on their way to the big night on Thursday. It's summer though, and there'll be plenty more bright umbrellas bobbing along pavements for another little - or big - series!
Love the lines and the bright colors in these - they would make great note cards or small prints. I hope you do more!
ReplyDeleteUmbrellas abound and they are brilliant. They make a great series. And nice they are used for the sun and not the rain
ReplyDeleteLovely sketches, Cathy.They do "tell a story."
ReplyDeleteYour colors are so bright and bold in your umbrella series.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I love how you've captured the movement in the bodies.
