Final Show

So there it is my life's work well that is how it felt at the time!

So here is My 1:50 Masterplan it has people and some of the plants, but unfortunately it isn't even half finished i still have the annotation to do and rendering (at a whole new level ) this image needs allot more detail than the 1:200 Masterplan, but the work is progressing.

Here is a link to my newly published website 

These are some mood / Precedent images i have been looking at. They haven't been organised yet on the page and I may not use all of them, but hopefully it is a start.

work so far

Planting Plan in CAD, as far as I'm concerned this is finished,
this took alot longer than the hand drawn version, but it is looking good I think .

Drainage Plan

Hardworks Plan

I think these two are finished but I'm not sure, I have the feeling something is missing from these . . . .
It could be all the white space !

1:200 masterplan hopefully this is finished now after what was hopefully the last revisit at this scale improving annotation this just needs to be rendered now.
I think i am begining to get the hang of annotation but it still takes alot of time.

The Red Admiral

The red admiral now overwinters in England, but to see a butterfly this early in the year is a surprise.
I couldn't believe it when I saw this photo.

Sequential sketches

Un-rendered Sketches

Rendered Sketches

my rendering needs a bit more work i was reasonably pleased with these but i have done the shadow's too lightly so they hardly show, and i think i might be getting the hang of this annotation malarky.
I like the key plan at the bottom i have used circles and arrows to indicate the direction of the view i think it works.

Rendering

Soft Pencil

Hard Pencil

Pen and Pencil

 I think i will be using a mix of these together but mainly the hard pencil, still need to perpefct rendering for sequential sketches .

Model Photoes

I was pleased with these, just need to master one of the vital parts of our work Annotation !

Hampton court

I was just looking through my pictures for a half decent photo of myself when i came across this !

This is a great group photo,everyone so happy and relaxed.

my model

now i just have to make sure it doesn't get broken for the next two months and that it gets to hadlow in one piece at the end of this period !

Advance representation Buisness card

My buisness card with two different names the prefered option in class was the top one, but i still like Susan's Green Gardens but not with the style of this card !

Few law assignment done, Proffesional studies Done and thanks to thoes who presented it Very Good !
now i can go back to concentrating on my masterplan and model Nearly done
where has the last couple of months gone never new life could go by so fast

'Reef benches' by Remy & Veenhuizen

I was looking for inspiring materials for my park and benches, this is not the style i am wanting to use but i love it
Really imaginative and fun Looks like children could play on them or in them too

I was looking at the Getty Museum and the paving edging this water feature seems to look uncannily like the paving we used for our Hampton court garden in the summer !

 first and second attempt at the plan

 Sequential sketches

Sections at 1:100

 Sections at 1:50



Can see the improvement but still could have done better
in the end this was not my preferred area after working on all three scenarios over christmas
would have preffered to do connective but it was too Late

My first Snowdrops of the year

I know it doesn't Quite mean spring is on the way But I did get excited when i saw my first snowdrops peeping up through the ground.

Just a bit of lite relief after Monday who knew 5minutes could be so long ?
So now we have the chance to hopefully improve on what we pinned up then
Scary!!!
