Today I continued to hammer away at the map project that I addressed in my last post. Maybe because it is Father's Day tomorrow or maybe because I am feeling nostalgic, I decided to do a map of the place where I first remember becoming fascinated with insects; my childhood yard. This challenge has proven more time consuming than I expected and I haven't even started in the insects or labels yet on the map, nor have I made it to the front yard. Hopefully o can find some time in the next couple of days to keep plugging away at it. There's lots more I want to add!
So far, this has been done largely with gouache. I added just a hint of ink to pop some colors off of the darker paper that I'm using.
