Sketch Rendering of Fishing Retreat near Sacramento

 The image to the right is an architectural rendering done recently by Jeffrey Michael George, architectural illustrator.  These illustrations are done before construction begins on a project, using the architect’s design drawings as a starting point.  Jeffrey first builds a 3D CAD model, and shows the client view options, from which the perspective view is selected for the rendering.  With that chosen view angle, Jeffrey then develops the architectural rendering by hand as traditional artwork.  When complete in color, a digital scan is made of the image, and sent to the architect for their use in promoting the project. This image shows the design work of Rebecca Coffman Landscape Architects of Nevada City, CA.  The project is a proposed Fishing Retreat planned for a stretch of the Yuba River near Penn Valley, CA.  Jeffrey provides many illustrations for architects in San Francisco, San Jose and South Bay, Bay Area Peninsula, East Bay, Sacramento, and the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, bringing their designs to life in the form of architectural renderings.
