David Lucas describes his rendering style as the “fine<br />

arts approach,” drafting with pen and ink and applying<br />

watercolor by hand. For him, the difference between<br />

his approach and a more photorealistic one is<br />

that photorealistic renderings risk giving the client<br />

a false sense of reality that produces expectations<br />

that may not be met. Watercolors, on the other hand,<br />

maintain a certain level of ambiguity that does not<br />

produce the same expectations. Furthermore, photorealistic<br />

images may suggest that the project is already<br />

completed, removing a sense of ownership or<br />

individuality from a potential buyer who wishes to<br />

build a project to their own specifications. 4<br />
