Thanks Noelia! Feel free to ask questions and contribute.

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!

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]

Hi all.  I’m working on a planting plan for a steep slope in an area that has plenty of DG (East San Diego) and need to add a burgundy color to the palette.  All of the other plants are xeric.  I’m hoping to find something that someone doesn’t need to prune (due to the steepness) but that will add color even if it’s deciduous. I’m using Ma…[Read more]

I wanted to explain the comment below about me no longer teaching graphics workshops after 2011 (from good friend Brandon Reed).  From mid-year 2011 forward, I’ll be teaching fine art workshops (drawing, watercolor, and oil painting).  I have no plans on teaching Color Mastery or Freehand Perspective Sketching (workshops aimed at Landscape…[Read more]

would anyone be interested in selling their used workbooks from the workshops to me? I live in Australia and in the near future, not able to travel to the States to attend the graphic workshops.

Glenn, and all
True that clients like to see green plants in the summer. Which is why some designers advocate a mix of native (80%) and non-native (20%) plants. The non-natives – which may require some summer water – stay green while the natives go summer brown.

Since many of our native plants go dormant in the summer as a survival technique to dry summers, I’m saying “advantageous for the summer-dry months” as it relates to the clients who prefer to see green plants and leaves still hanging onto their Buckeyes. Alternatively, Juncus, Western Sword Fern, and Iris, for instance, often receive summer water…[Read more]

Glenn Do you really need to irrigate these plants that you mention in summer? They are native to N California, and so in a “natural” context do not get any summer water. Why would you need to irrigate them in a cultured situation?

Anyone going to LABASH?

Anyway we can get some quick sketch technique (marker, colored pencil, pastel etc) and rendering tutorials on here ?

tim-

you bring up a good point..atmosphere is difficult to convey in hand drawn work. all I can think of at the moment is airbrush..

anyone know the best way to convey “god rays” in drawn perspectives? thanks

I know many of you are concerned with the cost of Labash….well let me reassure you about what you are getting for the money!!!
