It has rightly been argued that the growth of the cult of the local in France has to do with France’s need to re-invent its own past in the wake of the Revolution of 1789. This article suggests the importance of the Industrial Revolution, and changes to physical environments in this same development, by analysing travelogues by Celtomaniac French visitors to Wales in the 1860s. Unlike their own Celtic land, Brittany, Wales was a place where the issues of modernization, industrialization and changes to the local environment met head on with that of the survival of an ancient indigenous culture.

This paper is about learning to see the world anew – but also about doubting and qualifying that newness. Drawing on a practice‐led art–geography collaboration, in which en plein air painting and drawing was the primary medium, it aims to further extend understandings of the affective spatialities of landscape. The paper offers a sequence of extended reflections on the phenomenologies and materialities of the perceptual experience of landscape drawing. After initial discussion of this work's location and germination, a first substantive section investigates the spaces of the canvas itself. Subsequently, the core and culmination of the paper consists of an account of this form of landscape experience, organised around two headings: “Drawn into the world” and “So near and yet so far.” The concluding section of the paper consolidates its arguments in respect of theories of landscape specifically, and also comments on the paper's relation to current work in creative geographies.

With its origins in PhD research (Intimate Distance 2006-10) and through a series of dialogues with Professor Peter Merriman, Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, Webster addresses the practice of painting at the intersection of cultural geography, spatial theory and fine art. ‘Travel Projects’ is a critical reflection on a number of perennial conceptual issues for both geographers and visual artists in which the cultural geography of the practice of contemporary landscape painting/drawing is explored. These include the character and formatting of spaces and objects in painterly perception, questions of proximity, distance and relation, and finally the overarching question of spatial representation and ‘semblance’ in visual art (Massumi, 2011).
