Sequential Sketches
After weeks of work, and lack of sleep, I've finally finished my masterplan and related drawings for Calverley Grounds in Tunbridge Wells. I looked through the examples of rendering techniques that Jamie our tutor had sent us and was pleased to see that there were a few examples which were scratchy and heavy. I was pleased to see this as it is clearly the style I have.
A trip to Willmott Ford, Garden Designers of Distinction, a couple of weeks ago helped me with a quick confidence boost and a swift kick up the arse. Also, yesterday we had a day in the company of Andrew Wilson, top designer and all round good egg, and he said that their style of rendering was with watercolour pencils and pastels. I remembered I, or rather my children, had some water colour pencils given to them as a present and Miss Willmott had given me some pastels the other day.
So, armed with knowledge, equipment and confidence I began rendering after about 3 hours of putting it off. And the results are there to be seen. I am very pleased with them, I think looking at the final photos of previous Year 3 students work isn't always beneficial as different people use different techniques, and computer work looks fab, but some of us are a bit old fashioned and prefer hand drawn and rendered!
