The day we got the maps out

We had been looking at the work of various artists who's work had either been inspired by or had been created on maps. We then set to working on top of maps, some redrawing and others incorporating maps into their pictures. A lot of the group liked theirs so much they took them away so here is a selection of what is left!

Most set to with chalk pastels. If you use a wet paint brush on the chalk after it produces a wash effect and can make the colours stronger. Others used watercolours or acrylic.
