Loose Color Portfolio 1

I have grouped some of my most recent loose color renderings together in these portfolio pages. They include a wide variety of subjects and I have made individual comments on the images. When I illustrate the base B&W drawing for this type of rendering, sometimes I use a straight edge for the line work and sometimes I work totally freehand. The latter style comes off more loose and artistic. For more B&W samples see the index of Looser Style Renderings on the Gallery 2 Page.

Recreation center in Cashiers, North Carolina. (used straight-edge style)

Residence in Gulfstream, Florida. This freehand image was used on a invitation to a garden party.

Deerfield Beach, Florida. This marina and condo rendering was done with a combination of straight-edge and freehand.

Wellington, Florida. Multi-family development. By now you should be able to see how I executed the illustration, either straigh-edge, freehand or a combination of the two.

Mountain Home in Cashiers, North Carolina
