Carmel Said produced 3 scenic drawings for Direct Holidays. Carmel sketched the following images onto canvas in his studio

(each one drawn in perspective), they were then photographed and printed onto large stickers and displayed at various train stations across the UK. The idea was that each station would have artists on hand to re-sketch a small amount of chalk over certain areas of Carmels images to give the impression they had been drawn in situ.
Below is a selection of images from Carmel’s initial drawings to the final pieces, displayed and interacted with by the general public.
