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.
