Perspective Drawing & Colour Rendering - 3 Day Workshop

These workshops are intended to help those who want to be able to produce perspective drawings as a means of illustrating their design ideas to their clients and to colour render these drawings effectively.

These days work best if taken together but can be booked separately although students MUST be able to draw plans and elevations prior to enrolling on the perspective section.

Perspective Drawing

To understand the principles of One-Point Perspective Drawing and to use this new skill in both formal drawings and sketch perspectives

	SUITABILITY Suitable for those who are reasonably practiced at 2D technical drawing. Suitable for interior or garden design students DURATION Two days LOCATION Chelsea Harbour

This is an intermediate course for students who have completed technical drawing training and are familiar with the drafting of plans and elevations. It would also be helpful to have an understanding of axonometric/isometric projection drawing. The initial focus will be the construction of measured one-point-perspective drawings; learning how to plot widths, depths and heights. This new skill will improve students’ understanding of perspective sketching and build confidence.

These days will cover:-

• One-point-measured perspective drawing
• How to draw objects and add detail within the perspective drawing
• How to use photographs/sketching to save time

Colour Rendering

To understand the principles of colour rendering

	SUITABILITY Suitable for complete beginners to the discipline and those who want some refresher training DURATION One day LOCATION Chelsea Harbour

The day is designed specifically to help students render their plans in order to give the client an attractive impression of the finished scheme or planting plan. Students will have the opportunity to practise with coloured pencils and pantones* and will be shown how to mix colours on the paper and experiment with colour matching. The workshop will also include the introduction of texture, how to handle scale of pattern and the effective use of shadow and reflection.

The day will cover:-

• Coloured pencils
• Pantone pens
• Colour mixing and colour matching to samples
• The use of shadow and reflection
• How to create special effects such as wood and mirror

* Please note that this does not include water colours.
