Haarlem | City map on monochrome watercolour

For a close-up of this artwork click on the picture.
This is a very accurate city map of Haarlem with a modern black and white background painted with black watercolour on watercolour paper with the wet-on-wet technique. Because the watercolor is applied in a rather abstract way, you see in this work a plane division that consists of both dark and light parts. The lighter spots are reminiscent of light clouds, which give the impression of looking at Haarlem from an airplane.

This city map shows the following Haarlem districts and surrounding villages:
Waarderpolder, Patrimoniumbuurt, Frans Halsbuurt, Stationsbuurt, Kleverpark, Transvaalbuurt, Zijlwegkwartier, Oud Amsterdamsebuurt, Haarlem Oost, Slachthuisbuurt, Rozenprieel, Den Hout, Europawijk, Leidsevaartbuurt, Koninginnebuurt, Houtvaartkwartier, Ramplaankwartier, Duinwijk, National Park Zuid-Kennmerland, Bomenbuurt, Overdelft, Bloemendaal, Sinnevelt, Indische Buurt Noord en Zuid, Ter Kleef en Te Zaanen and Haarlemmerhoutkwartier.

This city map is an illustration of 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'.
