The power of visuals is undeniable and Santa Barbara-based architect Jeff Shelton’s architectural illustrations are a compelling case in point. He translates his ideas onto paper using simple tools like pen, pencil, ink and watercolour to create expressive hand-sketched drawings that convey scale and proportion while beautifully articulating the building’s architectural character. His work in Santa Barbara is influenced by the colonial vernacular style of Spain visible in the downtown area and features the use of materials like white plaster, terracotta, ceramic tiles, and handmade ironwork. His designs imbibe playful elements and a fanciful appeal, reflecting the skilful handiwork of the artisans and craftsmen who are crucial to realising these delightful structures.
