Amsterdam | City map on black watercolour

For a close-up of this artwork click on the picture.
This is a very accurate city map of Amsterdam with a modern monochrome background painted with black watercolor on watercolor paper using the wet-on-wet technique. Underneath the artwork is the city name. Because the watercolor is applied in a rather abstract way, you can see a division of the surface in this work that consists of both dark and light parts. The lighter areas are reminiscent of light clouds, which gives the impression of viewing Amsterdam from an airplane. This artwork is a fusion of analogue and digital illustrations.

This city map is an illustration by Ricardo Bouman.

WorldMapsShop is a creative design studio where artistic cartographic illustrations and paintings are created by designer and painter Ricardo Bouman.
In his studio, he works with both analogue mediums 'such as paints and inks' and digital mediums, such as 'modern line drawings and typographic designs' illustrated manually on the computer or drawing tablet.

WorldCardsShop devises unique cartographic concepts and stands for high artistic and graphic quality. All maps are made in the traditional way. In other words, 'handmade' and with passion for illustration, painting, typography and the graphic profession. WorldCardsShop therefore does not use artificial intelligence (Ai).

All maps are digitised in high resolution. This also makes it possible to order large wall-filling art prints 'such as Art-Frame and Seamless Wallpaper'.
