Sketching The Landscape

The document provides guidance on techniques for sketching various landscape elements including trees, plants, paving, and rocks. It outlines symbols for different types of deciduous trees that adapt well to color, including single or double circle templates. For coniferous trees, techniques are described like starting with a light center guideline and adding lines radiating outwards. Methods for branching trees, tropical plants, desert plants, shrubs, architectural water features, paving, shadow density and direction are also covered. The goal is to practice techniques that effectively convey landscape elements at different scales for planning purposes.
