This hand painted map of New Zealand in watercolor is an ode to this beautiful country and the continent of Oceania.
The map has been painted with a mixture of ecoline and watercolours applied to watercolour paper using the wet-on-wet technique. Subsequently, the white balance of the painting has been digitally adjusted so that this illustration contains the following colors with blue, purple, orange, yellow, green and azure tones.
The map is painted in an expressionistic way with high contrast colors.
The borders of the provinces are very subtly visible as thin pencil lines.
