Little Map Girl.

This months challenge over at Mix it Monthly is to use a map as one of your materials in your art work.
I have been wanting to join in all month and even though I love the look of the use of maps and was really up for the challenge every time I sat down to do something I just got a mental block. I think it was due to the colour prompt which included shades of greys and pinks. However, as we approach the end of the month  I have completed something at last.


I mostly use acrylic but in this piece I used water colours, water soluble graphite pencil,white gouache and oil pastel.

If you want to see what others have been doing with maps over at Mix it Monthly click on the badge in the side-bar and take a look.

Thanks for visiting. x

  1. This is just fabulous. There is real movement in her hair and dress. I really like how her arms are behind her, but she doesn't look as tho' they've been 'chopped off'. Great job. I also like the minimalist background you created too. :o) x

  6. She is so adorable! I think that she is at the beach at sunset and that is why there is pink in your art.
