Map making

Gilsland Park Map by Hannah Foley (www.owlingabout.co.uk). All rights reserved.This week has been a bumper week for Life Drawing classes so I’ve been shuttling back and forth into Edinburgh. Today Arthur’s Seat was beautifully illuminated by a patch of pale wintery sky visible through the blustery clouds, its chiselled grooves deep with shadow. The wind in Edinburgh is like nowhere else and today it was on top form, nipping and biting only to catch me out with a sharp blast of a cross wind as I passed the opening to another tall street.

Here is a piece of work I did last autumn for a caravan park in East Lothian. You might remember I designed their logo last year too. This map is going to be printed on perspex and fixed to an exterior wall so people can find their accommodation. It was quite a complicated image to get right but I really enjoyed it.
