I have been using more Baccharis pilularis ‘Pigeon Point’ up here in the East Bay of S.F. It seems to be an easy evergreen plant. So far, so good.

Has anyone had any problems with it after it has established?

Also what is your favorite Ceanothus and why?

Dear Land8Lounge Member,
I just come across an outstanding watercolor artist Jack Tia Kee Woon, his paintings are incredibly phenomenon. Each painting is so alive, colorfully glow with all six colors, and loosely expressed in style of its own. I upload 4 of his painting under photos. There are over 60 of his masterpieces on my web site at [Read more]

To draw well, you simply need to do the following three steps:
1. Learn best graphic tricks available. So don’t waste time studying by yourself. 2. Learn to copy other people’s work. Buy graphic books and copy, copy, and copy. 3. Work hard, never stop drawing. Create opportunity to draw and draw continuously.
Believe me, if you follow the above…[Read more]

Improvement of Before / After drawings in just one week during the BeLoose Graphic Workshop

For the past 35 years, I have taught at universities and run the BeLoose Graphic Workshop on “how to draw quickly and convincingly with hand”. I have found the following reasons that most landscape designers are afraid of using hand graphics on t…[Read more]

@Chris. The guide from mr. Haskin is terrific. Thanks a lot for sharing this, very useful. I was wondering how to get this effect for quite a long time, since I am autodidactic. Appreciate it.

Hi Daniel!
I became a promember of Land8 and I´m seeing some of Daniel Tal´s webinars on Sketchup. They are really easy to follow and very useful. There are also some photoshop webinar recordings but I haven´t been able to see those yet.
Hope this helps!

Hey There,
I have spent the last 3 years in a technical project management position and have become a bit rusty in the are of computer graphics using Sketchup and Photoshop in combination with each other. Obviously, this is such an integral part of practicing our profession these days so I want to get better at this.

I live in the Portland, O…[Read more]

I had problems the whole time I was in school with my desktop crashing because my video card didn’t have enough umph. What solved the problem was more memory in the video card itself. You can also check the auto-cad sight to make sure any card you are thinking of getting is ok with auto-cad. The laptop I bought when I graduated is a 64-bit with a…[Read more]

Awesome… thanks for the tips… that’s exactly what I was looking for.
THANKS!

I can attest to newer Geforce cards. I have a 470 from last year, and it runs like a champ. MIGHT end up going to a dual card setup, but that’s caused more by “Battlefield 3” than work…

Cendra Ramirez posted an update in the group SketchUp 13 years, 2 months ago

Can anyone recommend me a video card to be able to work on Sketch up, photoshop, illustrator and CAD? I am getting a new computer and wanted to see the minimum requirements I should have to support all those software.

Thank you

Tanya, thanks for the advice. My first option would be to get professional experience in restoration design before I go back to school and I’m very much looking into that but also looking to keep my options open. Also, thanks for the advice about the portfolio, that’s something that I’m aware of but it slipped my mind at the time. Changing now, thanks!

Tanya Olson posted an update in the group Habitat Restoration and Mitigation 13 years, 2 months ago

Hey Charles – rather than spending more $$$ you might try an internship with someplace like Barr Engineering in Minneapolis – they have a lengthy restroration portfolio. If you want hands-on experience you might call them to ask who does the installation of their projects. Ann Riley’s Waterways Restoration Institute in Berkley, CA might be a g…[Read more]
