I thought you might like to see how I arrived at this final save the date map.
The pencil sketch was sent for final proofing and approval before I inked and painted it.
The inked proof. It got changed.
The inked map before I painted it.
Here it is with locations colored. The colors are off in this scan.
Background 1. I copied it and tried out different backgrounds.
A different green. Hard to maintain the green wash on typing paper.
I used the scrap on the left to test colors. This was TOO solid green so I blotted it off and added some gold. I have to say the color lifted easily from the paper. Just a wet tissue did it.
The final product drying. I like the more mottled background.
Thanks for reading. Map on!!!!
