So, what's been happening?
Well, the crit went pretty well I'm pleased to say. Jamie doesn't like Escalonia ("hates" it in fact ), nor my criss-crossing bridges. He referred to my planting on the perennial terraces as "dog biscuits". But the Escalonia and bridges will stay, as I quite like them both. The dog biscuits will morph into candyfloss or some other delicious treat.
My plan rendering is "verging on overworked" but my model was "more interesting" I was encouraged by the comment "there's a level of strength to it", and I will hang on to that thought as compliments don't come floating by too often. Oh and both he and Julia thought the sequential sketches were OK - just need a similar sky to draw them together.
The section is weak - but I knew this. And the second one is...... missing completely.
So all in all, a good result. Plenty to work on over Easter of course. Especially as we now have our selected portion to develop at a scale of 1-50.
I cast the Easter eggs aside and set to work on the sections first. They took several days. Every single thing takes days. Then I completed the rendering on the plan, apart from some hand-rendering that I will complete when it's been printed.
Then I revisited the sequentials, added the final one and gave them the suggested sky.
Then I went away for a night in a hotel and had a couple of days walking in the freezing wind but nice bright sunshine... bliss.
Now I'm back and had a look at the 1-50. Must confess, I don't quite know where to start. I really can't remember how I started when I did this for the 1-200. My brain seems to be missing a little portion.
I will sleep on it. Got some work (remember that - the stuff that actually pays you money) to do tomorrow, so I will return to the task later in the week).
Posted below are my latest 'improvements'.
