Architectural Illustrations

Welcome to John Walsom Illustration.  For fine art oil paintings and watercolours, please visit www.walsom.art 

I draw and paint architectural watercolours with real hand drawn character and impact, from loose, freehand pencil sketches to highly detailed architectural perspectives. All my visuals are fast to produce and extremely affordable. I work in traditional media to make pencil drawings, line and wash impressions, and full colour visuals, and I'm also fluent in Photoshop to finish, amend and revise architectural perspectives where it's needed.

Hand drawn architectural illustrations, for masterplans or interior designs, can describe a designer's aim without specifying every nut and bolt.  They help the client to feel there is space for a contribution to the process, that not everything is nailed down from the first presentation.  They also emphasise the artistic credentials of the designer, that they have a vision beyond computer generated ideas.

I've been a full time architectural illustrator for over 30 years, and I'm also a qualified architect, so I understand the concepts behind your designs, and can interpret a brief in an intelligent way, to help find the best way to visually promote your design. I've made perspective views for many of the best known names in architecture and interior design worldwide - so if you prefer to spell them "architectural watercolors", I can still deliver the image you want on time.  I've completed a large number of luxury yacht interior views, as well as hotels, private houses, and commercial projects.

I'd love to show you more of my watercolour illustrations for yacht interiors and large private houses, but most are covered by NDAs, so only a select few can be included on the website.

I'm friendly and, I'm told, easy to work with, and I've gained a reputation for quality and professionalism (see the Testimonials page for some endorsements from my clients). The Contact page will put you in touch, you can send me a message and I'll be happy to give you a quotation for your project.

I'm also a fine art painter, which I sell through galleries and online. I'm a Council member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.  If you want to see some of these, or find out about portraits of existing buildings, visit www.walsom.art.
