In this one I was actually imagining this in my front yard in the bed by the driveway. In reality, the front yard planted with natives but this was one of my earlier imaginings.
I get obsessed with certain color combos. This one I’m looking at silver foliage and peach flowers.
I like to do little landscape vignettes. Not a whole landscape design but just a bed or a small area. It’s fun to use these informal, made-up sketches to explore color and texture and layering of plants.
Here is one with lots of maroon, red, orange, and yellow plants.
Another one with some red and adding in some boulders and gravel, IDK, I find drawing these fun and soothing!
I was just playing around with color in this sketch. I really love seeing a landscape where there is super bright color introduced. So far I have not really had a chance to get a client to do this. I have certainly suggested it and tried! I really have! I just love a bright contrast and pop of color!
