Architectural Rearticulation - Interpretation of Contemporary House As A Watercolor

Transformation Of Media

Normally the clients that I have want less artistic and more realistic but yet inspiring images of their architecture. Whether it is for a digital set extension or for architectural visualization. The majority of the time these clients are trying to, "sell" the scene. This is true for both my film & tv customers and for the architectural design customers. Most of the time they want to be able to place a person emotionally in a scene in a way that does not suspend disbelief.

So the bulk of the time my work comes out as either photoreal or nearly so. Much of the time it is composited into actual existing settings in both urban and rural settings. Some of the time I do the environment too. Even when I am doing this I am shooting for a certain tangible realism. The desired outcome is a tactile response to the art.

Challenged To Rearticulate Into Different Media

A while ago I displayed some spaceship concept work which inspired @reddust to consider trying her hand at spaceships within her chosen media. While I am a pretty staunch digital artist she does wonderful work in traditional medias. People like @edgarsart and @voronoi and many other have inspired me to stretch my artistic impression of my work. The work at the top of the page is one such example. The image that headlines this section was one of the original work product images that I did for a architectural design customer. As you can see there is a pretty substantial change in realism yet the reinterpretation into watercolor still seems to create a somewhat immersive emotional response to the house.

All of this has made me considering offering my customers a greater range of artistic impressions of their development projects. One of the things that is part of my main mission is to create a narrative for these spaces. In the pursuit of realism perhaps I have forgotten part of the story.
