How to Draw a Patio
Draw a patio in 12 easy steps, about 9 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the umbrella top.
Step 1: The umbrella top
Near the top of your paper draw a big umbrella top, like a wide hat with a bumpy bottom edge.
Step 2: Ribs and tip
Draw 4 curved lines from the point down to the dips in the edge. Add a little knob on top.
Step 3: The pole
Start under the middle of the umbrella. Draw the pole straight down, stopping just below the paper's middle.
Step 4: The table
Draw a flat oval table top on the pole. Under it, curve from one tip down to the other.
Step 5: Table stand
Start under the table's middle. Draw a thick post down to the ground. Add a flat oval foot.
Step 6: Two chairs
Draw a chair on each side: a flat seat, a tall back, and 2 legs from seat down to ground.
Step 7: Cup and flower pot
Draw a cup and a pot on the table. From the pot draw a stem up to a 5-petal flower.
Step 8: Paving and ground
Draw 2 long lines right across under the chairs and table, with short lines between them for the stones.
Step 9: The sun
Draw a round sun with 8 short rays in the top right corner.
Step 10: Red and white umbrella
Colour every other panel of the umbrella red. Leave the panels between white.
Step 11: Wooden table, yellow sun
Colour the table, its post and foot, and the chairs wood brown, and the sun yellow.
Step 12: Grey paving, pink flower
Colour the paving grey right to the bottom, the pot grey and the flower pink. Your patio is done!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a patio, drawn by you.
