Stumbled on to your database blog while researching healing gardens. Currently designing two for an outpatient clinic in Miami. Thanks so much for all the info you’ve posted.

Strut your stuff! Two opportunities with ASLA: http://tldb.blogspot.com/. Will announce the call for student awards when it comes around, too.

I prefer generation hand drawn perspectives in pencil, then overlay with white trash using Pentel Sign Pen for line work and Chart Pak for color.

I like Copic Markers

Scholarship opportunity for landscape architecture grad students wanting to conduct research. See more on the Therapeutic Landscapes Database Blog: http://tldb.blogspot.com/ and spread the word – deadline is soon!

You’re welcome, Rico! Let me know how it goes – always looking for more examples of therapeutic landscapes to add to the database (http://www.healinglandscapes.org/sites.html).

It will Naomi, thanks. I’m sure will help. Hoping I could do one in the future for my son who has DS, and maybe for the school he is in right now.

God bless you!

Hello Naomi.

I haven’t really delved deeply in the resources provided by you…but a quick question: any resources on spaces and Down’s Syndrome people?

Thanks.

NAQI IS MY FRIEND…AND HE REALLY TALENTED IN WATERCOLOR TECHNIQUE…

i love to render my artwork by using marker color…..but i also know to use other medium like watercolor and pencil color..but marker i like he most

Dear Naomi, nice to see you here. Thank you for sharing ^_^

thank you

I just picked up a handful of Blick markers. Are they any good? I’ve used AD and Prismacolor, are these better, worse, or about the same?

At your request Jonathon I am going to attach one of my recent plan view renderings for your evaluation of its strengths and weaknesses….I would like comments from whomever has some input….good or bad…..It will be in the above discussions…

Lets get this party started! Show us some examples….

Response to comment by Brent Farrar, I have used turpentine and pastels on normal paper. you get a similar effect of watercolour, but the paper does not wrinkle, this was my solution to getting the watercolour feel without all the hassle.

Hey Brandon….thanks for the invite. I use Vectorworks to create landscape designs…..do you know where can I find more information on realistic coloring techniques to use on my Vectorworks drawings so it looks like I used real colored pencils. Are there any other ways to make the drawings look high end? Peace!
