Umbrella Painting

Pune spends four months under an umbrella. This one will be yours.

Umbrella Painting is the most satisfying scale we work at. You start with a plain light-coloured umbrella, opened and secured upside down on the table, and paint across the whole canopy. Mandalas radiating from the centre, branches climbing the panels, florals, monsoon skies. It is big, bold work, and the finished thing is impossible to miss.

Our instructor takes you through the whole process: planning a design that works with the panel seams instead of fighting them, mixing paint to the right consistency so it does not bleed into the fabric, working in thin flexible layers so the design survives being opened and closed, and building up colour across the canopy evenly. Templates and design references are on hand if you would rather not start freehand.

WHAT YOU MAKE
