I remember when I was in Junior High School…..my Dad asked me to put this glove on and hold the stop watch, so he could do a sketch. From that sketch, he created this OIL PAINTING. I believe it was for an AD he was designing for a client. The “detail” IMO, is pretty amazing. Of course, back then (about 1964), there was no such thing as “Photoshop”…Artwork by Advertising Artists and Graphic Designers was always “by hand”.
The 2nd AD sketch sample above, also by my Father. A “Preliminary AD” for one of his clients. I was very fortunate to have grown up with such a talented artistic Father…..I had the opportunity to actually SEE what great graphics should look like. Dad was a huge influence on my becoming interested in the “graphic” side of Landscape Architecture. For my entire 42 year LA career, every “Color Preliminary Plan” I created was always done “by hand”.
