This hand painted map of New Zealand in watercolor is an ode to this beautiful country and the continent of Oceania.
The map is painted with a mixture of ecoline and watercolors applied with the wet-on-wet technique on watercolor paper with fresh yellow, green, orange and blue tones.
The map is painted in an expressionistic manner with high contrast colours. In terms of color, the colors of landscapes and nature have been taken into account. The coastlines are yellow, light brown and azure blue and the inland areas green, brown and red.
The borders of the provinces are very subtly visible as thin pencil lines.
In this map the country name: New Zealand is added in a cool font.
This map is also available without the country name.
