Friday Favorite: Anne E. McGraw

2/7/2014

This Friday’s featured artist is Anne E. McGraw of Summit Ridge Studio and her gorgeous watercolor map paintings! I particularly love her vintage color palette!

Anne explains:
I started to paint maps after college with a degree in Architecture from Mississippi State University.
I studied abroad in England and painted a map to remember my travels and fond times.
After moving to Colorado, I painted a map of Mississippi.

In 2009, I began selling my maps online and in stores as others loved my style of watercolor and the shared fondness for maps. I specialize in custom watercolor maps and have sold many paintings on commission. 
The color palette comes from old vintage sepia photographs, blueprints, and etchings of old style maps.
Each watercolor block is hand painted without any masking fluid leaving the white of the paper untouched.
