HOW TO: Transform SketchUp Models into Digital Hybrid Watercolor RenderingsstudioINSITE
Digital SketchUp Watercolor is an amazing hybrid visualization technique for transforming a Google SketchUp model view into a digital watercolor. The idea involves a combination of digital image manipulation and traditional hand coloring with markers. For anyone who enjoys modeling in SketchUp, this process enables you to create beautiful renderings that have a "hand crafted" character resembling a watercolor painting.
How to: Digital Watercolor with SketchUpstudioINSITE
I really enjoy discovering new methods of combining SketchUp models with hand drawing. My new “Digital Watercolor” method takes the hybrid process one step further and adds filtering with Photoshop to give the image a soft watercolor-like appearance.
This studioINSITE project was for a new hospital healing garden. The outdoor space was filled with variations in surface textures, different visual experiences and sculpted topography for patients to explore. The two digital watercolors I created were used for fund raising purposes. This is my step-by-step process.

How to Combine Drawing, SketchUp & PhotographystudioINSITE
Quick visualization project for a studioINSITE client who wanted simply to understand what a sidewalk in front of his development might look like if it had landscape planters integrated into the streetscape. This is a simple way to produce an image with context for your clients! It creates a hybrid image with drawing, SketchUp and a photograph.

Photoshop: Tips and tricks for working with images that are too smallWeb Ascender
Whether you’re working on a blog post, newsletter, website design or flyer, finding the perfect photo for your project can be a challenge. What’s more challenging is finding the perfect photo only to have it be too small to use.
Making the image larger won’t solve the issue. The photo will lose quality when it’s expanded. However, there are a couple creative tips and tricks we can use in to resize small images in Photoshop and make up the extra pixels.

Perfection in painting comes only with time. You can take shortcuts. However, the outcome is likely to be less than what you have expected. There are numerous kinds of paint brushes, and it's often hard to decide which one to use.

2. This is a streetscape
improvement project
in Glenwood Springs,
Colorado.
This eye level view in front
of a popular coffee house
was a perfect opportunity
to create a hybrid drawing
that blended together a
photograph, a 3D SketchUp
model, hand illustration and
coloring with markers.
3. Step One: Base Digital Photograph
The two digital photographs above were taken in front of the coffee
shop. I selected the right image for several reasons - I stood in the
street looking back at the storefront to create a better composition,
the view had no foreground “clutter”, and it emphasized more of the
coffee shop entrance and its beautiful curved glass window.
4. Step Two: SketchUp “Stage Set” Model
Our design team developed a new sidewalk configuration that
included an outdoor dining space against the existing buildings.
Once I built the base model and populated it with people
components, I carefully matched the eye level SketchUp model view
with the perspective in the photograph. I then exported a 5000 pixel
wide high resolution jpeg from the SketchUp model.
5. I combined the SketchUp view with the sidewalk photograph using Adobe Photoshop. All image
resolutions were at 300dpi. I first deleted the background from the SketchUp scene (upper
image) and then carefully sized it to fit into the street scene of the digital photograph. Notice the
man sitting with his bicycle from the original photograph and how well he integrated into the new
composite scene!
Step Three: Photoshop Composite View
6. Print the composite image and then go over it with hand drawn linework and colored markers. I first
lightened the image before printing it. I printed the 9”x13” image on 11”x17” matte finish coated bond
paper using an ink jet color printer. Using a fine point water-based roller ball ink pen, I traced over many
of the edges of the SketchUp model and added more casual linework to the people in the foreground. I
added some colored markers to “soften” the image and make it less photographic or computer dominant
in appearance.
Step Four: Hand Drawing on a Print
8. Notice how the perspective is a blend of the photographic detail
(reflections in the window). and the rich character of the hand drawn
linework and marker coloring.
I love experimenting with new hybrid visualization methods and if
you have a design project where this composite process would be
beneficial, give it a try!
