Hello, friends! Today, I’m excited to share a simple tutorial on how to create a rainy day scene featuring a girl holding an umbrella using oil pastels. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of painting a girl with an umbrella against a natural backdrop.

Secure a sheet of paper to your clipboard by wrapping masking tape around the edges. This creates a barrier that keeps the paper in place as you work, preventing it from slipping or falling. Once it's secure, you can proceed with the following steps:
