LANDSCAPING
We should pay careful attention to the appropriate
scale of the trees we draw in elevations and section
drawings. As always, the type of trees selected
should be appropriate to the geographic location of
the architecture.

• Insmall-scale elevations, we draw the portion of
tree trunks that are visible and simply outline the
foliage. Draw these outlines freehand to give the
foliage atextural quality.
• To contrast with the light values of adjacent,
overlapping, or background forms, we can give the
foliage acontrasting texture and t onal va lue.
• If the scale of the drawing permits and ahigh degree
of t ransparency is desired, we can simply draw the
branch structures of trees. The outline of foliage
can be suggested with dotted or lightly drawn
freehand lines.

• In para line drawings. trees should have athreedimensional quality in order to comply with the
principles of para line drawing.
