Map for Wanderlust 2018



This is my first exercise for Wanderlust 2018, following a lesson by Jamie Avery about drawing paths and roads. My interest was caught by an old map I found in a book of the town where I live. The map of Reading  by John Speed, dated 1610, shows the town centre, the shape of the roads are unchanged today. I liked the way he drew the buildings and I copied it using pen and ink and watercolour pencils.
