Where can I find design inspiration? How will I know if my design is successful? If you approach these questions like an artist, with an artists tools and ways of looking at the world, you will be able to design gardens that combine the unique character of a place with your innermost creative spirit. Youll make inspiring gardens that have real meaning, for yourself as well as others.In this luminous volume, landscape architect and artist W. Gary Smith explores the various means that artists use-including drawing, painting, sculpture, meditation, poetry, and dance-to create personal connections with the landscape that enrich and inform garden design. Part 1 focuses on simple techniques that anyone can use to nurture creativity, unleash the imagination, and get ideas down on paper. Part 2 shows how these techniques have shaped actual design projects-with spectacular results.Throughout, the authors friendly and encouraging voice removes the shroud of mystery surrounding the creative process and shows how even the least artistically inclined can tap into inner resources they never knew they had. Smiths own exuberant sketches and bold paintings illuminate the path from art to landscape.Infectiously engaging and unfailingly inspiring, this eye-opening book deserves to be read and reread by anyone who aspires to master the rich and demanding art of garden design.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51893756952864,"sku":"NEW0881929735","price":101.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91VprDshSHL.jpg?v=1782007510","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/from-art-to-landscape-unleashing-creativity-in-garden-design-0881929735","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
