Jewellery Design Intensive Course

About

Ink pen sketches and renderings
In this workshop fast representation techniques are applied with the use of ink pens. Starting from different representation techniques for flat surfaces, curved, cylindrical and conical surfaces, we move on to representation of cabochons and faceted gemstones, pave, pearls and other materials. The aim of the workshop is to give the student the tools and methods to realize monochromatic jewellery drawings through fast “chiaroscuro” ink pen techniques that will give an immediate visual impact.
Rendering with markers and watercolor pencils.
In this workshop representation techniques using alcohol and water-based markers and watercolor pencils are covered and employed. Starting from different representation techniques of flat, curved, cylindrical and conical surfaces, both polished and satin-finished, of precious metals. Then we move on to drawing of precious stones: cabochons and faceted stones, semi-precious stones, pearls, corals and other materials. The aim of the workshop is to provide the student with the tools and methods to realize jewellery renderings through the use of fast but visually striking representation techniques.
Digital rendering with photoshop, illustrator and procreate.
In this workshop, digital representation techniques using Photoshop and Illustrator software, and the Procreate application are illustrated and employed. As usual, we start with representation techniques of flat, curved, cylindrical and conical surfaces, both polished and satin-finished, of precious metals. Then we move on to digital representation of precious stones: cabochons and faceted stones, semiprecious stones, pearls, corals, pavés of diamonds. The advantages of digital rendering and the possibility of modifying the design and adapting it to different requirements in a very short time are highlighted. The aim of the workshop is to train the student with the tools to realize renderings through the use of digital jewels illustrations and painting, which is highly fast, dynamic and expressive
