creative drawing and visualisation
We can offer workshops in creative drawing and visualisation for garden designers.
Let us help with the creative investigations in the early stages of a design, right through to hand-drawn elements of a detailed Concept Plan. Your 3D garden design can sell the idea to a client; we have years of experience in the arts as well as garden design in visualising the project. Richard graduated from University with a First Class honours degree in Fine Art and as a qualified teacher has years of experience delivering courses in creative drawing.
