Original Renderings by CSS Artists

     
Artist Renderings
One of the most inspiring aspects of a planned decoration or restoration is conveying the vision for the new or restored interior. Understanding the extent, style and quality of what is proposed is essential to affirming the project—for both the client and the community.

Artists’ renderings provide visual information regarding the proposed design and color palette. For a decorative project, these drawings and paintings also illustrate the degree of decoration that is planned. Conrad Schmitt Studios’ rendering department is state-of-the-art. Most projects begin with a theme and concept that is refined through dialog with the client and the CSS research department. The concept is then developed as a base architectural drawing and rendered, usually in watercolor or airbrush, to represent the proposed appearance. The artwork is reviewed by the client, and modifications can be made on computer as necessary. The final rendering is usually displayed as is—or it may be incorporated into a fundraising board and/or literature—prior to commencement of the work as a fundraising tool and an inspiration.
