Nijmegen | City map on black watercolour

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

The football stadium of NEC is also depicted as a line drawing in this artwork.

The following districts are shown on this city map:
Oosterhout, Lent, Altrade, Hees, Goffert, Goffertpark, ST. Anna, Dukenburg, Hatert, De Kamp, Lindenholt, Nijmegen Centre, Waterkwartier, Wolfskuil, Bottendaal, Hesenveld, Galgenveld, Limos, Hazenkamp, Groenewoud, Brakkenstein, Lankforst, Malvert, Hatertse Hei, Zwanenveld, Neerbosch-Oost.

This city map is accurately illustrated by Ricardo Bouman, a graphic designer, artistic cartographer and owner of a design office in Zoetermeer.

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'.
