Juliana Aschwanden-Vilaça

Juliana has been drawing since childhood. These skills were certainly useful during her architecture studies. However she then focused primarily on landscape architecture, completed further training in environmental management and a master's degree in landscape architecture. In the process, however, drawing fell somewhat by the wayside. Through the Urban Sketchers movement, however, her great love was rediscovered, and so in 2017 she earned a master's degree in illustration. Today she works as an illustrator and hardly ever leaves the house without her sketchbook

The Botanical Garden in pencil

In this workshop, we will use pencil to sketch the green landscape of the New Botanical Garden in high contrast. First we will briefly talk about image composition. Then we will look at how the proper use of tonal values can emphasize and make elements of the sketch expressive.

Materials:
  • sketchbook (at least 120 g/m2)
  • Caran d'Ache Grafwood pencils (3B, 5B, 7B and 9B)
  • kneaded eraser
