For this watercolor map of Giza, Egypt, we used 140 lb. Strathmore Watercolor Paper, sized 15×22 inches available at Waldorf Supplies. We used our Winsor-Newton watercolors from Blick Art Supplies, but in retrospect, we should have used our Stockmar watercolors from A Child's Dream as they would have been faster and covered beautifully. The main reason why I went with the Winsor-Newton paints is because I was looking for a specific warm brown for the sandy desert, and didn't want to mix the Stockmar colors to make that specific shade. I followed some images I found online to give the basics of the landscape, but upon further inspection, I'm pretty sure we placed the pyramids in the wrong order. We made the pyramids in another project, and I love the addition of the map below the pyramids as it gives the whole project context and beauty.
