Here is the finished drawing in watercolour on 90lb Canson NOT paper.
I'm wearing my commercial hat at the moment and working on a range of projects for planning applications. Here's the process I use for an aerial view showing a lovely barn conversion for two dwellings in Northants. The first drawing was prepared using SketchUp to establish a basic view from plans supplied and approval from the client (1); the final pencil draft drawn traditionally (2) and the finished watercolour drawing (3).
A seasonal look to the Chapel with fairylights replacing roses round the door - just an insight to goings on last night at the Chapel Christmas bash. It was akin to Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas when Design Chapel residents, friends and family invaded the Old Cemetery to light up God's Acre. Long term residents were not invited but I'm sure would have approved (and joined in if possible!). Happy Christmas!
A rather belated mention of the SAI drawing and rendering workshops held at the University of Bath in October. Given it was held on a saturday morning the turn-out was extraordinary. The Architecture seminar room was the venue for a series of workshops delivered by myself and four other SAI members to a packed audience of more than eighty B.Arch. undergraduates hungry to learn the masters' secrets! This is me in full flow: How to draw a peg in three easy lessons! Here's a link for more info: http://www.sai.org.uk/blog/?p=584
I've just completed this watercolour for a dear friend and colleague of some 14 years to remind him of his journey from Southampton station to Solent University passing this lovely sculpture each day. Designed by Paul de Monchaux and erected in 2000 this work frames four views across West Park. Good luck Phil
