Precedent study for rendering techniques
1) charcoal

 these sketches studies are intended to investigate the versatility of charcoal for exploring a variety of ideas and situations. charcoals is used to explore shadows. A textured surface acts as a key for the soft charcoal. Darks are laid into the surface adn then removed with a putty rubber in a process that is akin to sculpting clay.
2) colored pencil

a number of colored pencil rendering techniques showing above is demonstrated in the drawing of Eric Parry. this sequence of elevations, is delicately balanced between precise, ruled line work, freehand lines and hatching and layered pencil crayon. together, the simple techniques convey both material and modelling of the building's surface. the drawing is delicate in its execution, but also underpinned with precision, and represents a real sense of the archtect's understanding of material, making and landscape.
3) watercolour

watercolour, though often associated with smaller observational or illutrative renders, is among the most expessive of techniques and applicable to drawings of all scales. in a watercolour the translucent layers allow the luminosity of the page itself to emerge; light travels through the layers of coloured glazes, is reflected off the page and animates the image.
