ARTISTIC ILLUSTRATION ESSEX
However much modern technology impresses, CGI in films and lifelike 3D renders, 'old school' art and illustration has endured for centuries and has it's own distinctive appeal. Wisdom Design have the flair to illustrate whatever is required and in the style of the period to which the project relates. Here are a few examples to show this strength in depth. Sometimes there really is nothing like the allure of a 'real' drawing of a pretty scene in Essex, artistic designs for greetings cards or cartoons for newsletters.
Tiptree Tea Rooms Illustrations
Some classic illustrations created for Wilkin & Sons’ prestigious ‘Tiptree’ tea rooms dotted around some stunning sites in Essex. Our drawings were drawn in the 1920s art nouveau travel poster classic style.
Painting Commissions
Burnham Overy Staithe Windmill in Norfolk, England - painted in response to an enquiry for a commissioned watercolour by a client.
Illustrations for Collectors Cards
Pencil and marker illustration of the 1953 Le Mans winning C-Type Jaguar driven by Rolt and Hamilton in the S5.0 class. One of hundreds of illustrations for Golden Era Collectors Cards (co-owned by Rob in the 1980s).
Haringey Christmas Graphic
For the Christmas period Haringey Council needed a festive illustration for an E-Card. We illustrated the Haringey Skyline, featuring key landmarks including the famous Alexandra Palace.
London Illustrations
The best of British captured in pen and ink, watercolour and marker. This series focused on iconic London landmarks.
Essex Bistro Gouche Painting
The Woolpack boasted traditional fayre and good old fashioned service, and so, this illustration was created for their marketing, paying homage to the great railway posters of yesteryear. Featured on a poster at local stations.
Tractor Illustrations for Calendar
This illustration graced the pages of a special promotional calendar for Second Sight Productions. Aimed at classic tractor fanatics, it featured important agricultural machinery spanning many decades.
Local Illustrations and Sketches
The closest landmark to the Wisdom Design offices is perhaps the Tiptree Windmill, only a few miles from our door. It was illustrated in pen and ink shortly after a liberal dose of snowfall a few years ago.
