Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization
Colors
A course by Pavel Fomenko , Architect and concept developer
About the video: Colors
Overview
“Any successful creative work, irrespective of its field, genre, or origin, is carried by a strong conceptual foundation, great execution, and compelling storytelling. You layout the idea, make it clear and infuse it with magical tactility which makes your work descriptive, penetrating, and purposeful. In the visual art of drawing, that magical tactility is the use of color. Along with adding a beautiful artistic dimension to your work, color is an incredibly subtle tool of clarity, graphical distinction, and visual engagement. Color distills, informs, and inspires. It elevates the quality of your drawing to a level of a unique visual experience. In this lesson, you will learn how to apply color to your work so it becomes vivid and distinct. You will learn how to think, see and define color based on what you want to accomplish with your work rather than making it merely colorful. Above all, you will learn how to be fearless and clear in your approach to using it in your drawing.”
In this video lesson Pavel Fomenko addresses the topic: Colors, which is part of the Domestika online course: Architectural Drawing: From Imagination to Conceptualization. Learn to amplify your ideas with architectural geometry, three-dimensional thinking, and drawing techniques.

Coloring is important in order to create readability and clarity. You have all those structural components that you want to bring forward, and we're going to use color to highlight some of those components, because you want to communicate the important and integral part of your structural assembly, of your p...”
