Styling a deciduous tree requires a fundamentally different aesthetic strategy than styling a conifer. Treating both the same results in unnatural, generic designs. In this session, Vladimir Chovan breaks down the structural differences between both groups and shows how to analyze raw material to find its strongest design direction.
What we will cover:
- Deciduous vs. Conifer Aesthetics: Naturalistic ramification vs. dynamic tension, movement, and deadwood integration.
- Raw Material Analysis: How to read trunk line, nebari, and branch placement to establish the correct front and style.
- Highlighting & Concealing: Strategic design choices to emphasize strengths and disguise structural flaws (inverse taper, poor branching, flat angles).
- Visual Case Studies: Step-by-step breakdown of real trees and design progressions.
- Live Q&A: Direct answers to your specific design and material questions.
