I don't think I've felt excitement like this for a while! Thank you for the link, I will send over an email to Mr Crosby for sure. I agree with the sentiment proposed in the article that traditional mediums such as watercolours can portray the mood and character more than an accurate 3D model. Thanks for all your input Alan, One can always rely on the kindness of strangers

Thanks for your very optimistic response Alan, it is appreciated. Forgive my ignorance but what does LPA stand for - Is it Local Planning Authority I have zero experience in this field so I've been by my laptop all day researching. It seems to me that yes several companies are offering this service alongside other architectural planning bits and bobs like 3d renderings, plans etc Still, I think after a few months of getting my head around it all I could do a good job. As you say, if I were to 'trace' the existing cad I can't really go wrong. Feel free to point me in any direction that you may think would help :) Kindest Regards Daniel

Hi, I’m a mosaicist and from time to time I’m given architectural plans especially when I’ve been commissioned for, say, a marble floor. Im getting on a bit and would am thinking about less physical things I can do with my time. Im very skilled at digital watercolour too. My question is - is it feasible to begin a side hustle as a water colourist for architect plans? And would it be a case where the plans would be sent to be just to colour or would I be expected to draw the plans and colour? Is there even a market for this or is it rather niche? I’ve spent a lot of time looking at such drawings and I’m very drawn to them and would love to spend sometime practising. Last question - does one have to be a an actual architect to do this type of work? Many thanks Daniel
