Drawing of a Rainbow

Rainbow Tutorial Video

Rather than draw the entire shape, this tutorial will show students how to draw a Rainbow that is slightly off to one side of the page. The closer view means those bands can be just a bit wider, which is always helps when drawing them. Plus, the slightly off-center composition creates a little more interesting look than if everything was just centered on the page.

Rainbow drawing for kids actually contain upwards of 1 million colors, but the limitations of our eyes pretty much turn them into seven curved bands that all softly blend from one to the next. For those that are just learning how to draw though, making those bands as even as possible, and then filling them in the right color order, are enough to practice for one lesson.
