Nostalgic Umbrellas

by Liz May

Nostalgic umbrellas. This pattern was originally created using real watercolour paints on paper. I next scanned in the paintings, altered the colours to be more vibrant and tidied it up in Photoshop, before making the illustrations vectorised in Adobe Illustrator.

I have created the illustrations into a seamless repeat pattern that is based on the wonderful colours and patterns that umbrellas have on a rainy day. I based this design on the nostalgic vacation trend.
