Part one ‘how to’ video in this series: popping a scale plan into 3D with tracing paper, graph paper and (occasionally) a ruler. Anyone can do it 😉 . . . #gardendesign #gardendesigner #landscapedesign #plantingdesign #drawingbyhand #howtodraw #drawingtips #timelapsedrawing #axonometricillustration #3ddrawing

Part two ‘how to’ video in this series- tracing the final copy in ink, adding labels and copying onto white paper, ready for colouring. . . #gardendesigner #landscapedesign #handdrawndesign #howtodraw #gardenplan #smallgardenideas #gardendesignersofinstagram #timelapsedrawing #landscaperendering #drawingtutorial

And part 3 of the ‘how to’ series; the fun part, adding colour, layer by layer. I usually go darker tones to lighter to get a more subtle blend, mostly @winsorandnewton promarkers but I’m not against throwing a few other things into the mix- tippex is great! . . . #gardendesignideas #gardendesignersofinstagram #landscapedesign #plantingdesign #howtodraw #drawingtutorial #promarkers #winsorandnewton #smallgardenideas

(Probably) the last set of drawings to be completed this year, a fabulous Victorian villa with a corner plot garden. #landscapedesign #gardendesign #outdoorliving #victorianrenovation #harrogatelife #harrogate

An exciting wraparound garden design in Harrogate , with some challenging shapes and levels to keep my brain sharp and creative juices flowing👌 #gardendesign #gardendesigner #landscaping #landscapedesign #homerenovation #newbuildgarden #outdoorliving #gardeninspiration #harrogate #harrogatelife #harrogatebusiness

Sometimes we get to do something a bit special… modern porcelain patios are all well and good for new houses but that wasn’t going to work for this 1920s Arts and Crafts style home. Instead we went for a gorgeous combination of antique limestone and handmade bricks from @bbtboroughbridge lovingly crafted by @ben_hudsonlandscapingltd perfectly capturing my design vision. I hope I get to see this masterpiece again in spring/ summer when the water feature is up and running and the planting is filling out 😍🌿 #gardendesigner #landscapedesign #homerenovation #smallgardenideas #suburbia #yorkengland #artsandcraftsmovement #madeinyorkshire #cottagegarden #englishgarden #gardenart

A recently completed design for a large blank canvas garden, to be divided into three areas and to include a cabin for a home gym and hot tub. Drawn at 1:100 scale so it’s super easy to read the dimensions on site; 1cm on paper = 1m on the ground. #newbuild #newbuildhome #newbuildgarden #homerenovation #gardendesign #landscapedesign #outdoorliving #gardenplanning #yorkshireproperty #englishcountrygarden
