About the artwork

Handmade 'with crown pen' drawn line drawing with black ink of the Eierland Lighthouse on Texel with view from the Vuurtorenweg.
Hand-drawn by designer and painter Ricardo Bouman.

This illustration is part of the 'Netherlands in Watercolour' collection and is an illustration in the category Impressionism, Illustration, Line drawing and Maritime.
The illustration is a line drawing characterised by black illustrated lines drawn with a crown pen and waterproof black ink.
The quick pen and brush strokes create dynamism and a playful impressionistic character.
The composition shows the Lighthouse Road where the strong perspective makes you feel as if you are being taken in the direction of the Lighthouse.

Texel is my favourite Dutch holiday destination and I have been to the Eierland Lighthouse several times in beautiful, sunny or just stormy weather. When I am there, I always photograph the lighthouse and the surrounding houses and the Texel dune landscape belonging to De Cocksdorp.
This illustration is therefore also a compositional elaboration of one of my own photographic images which I then copied.
I also painted this same composition in a colourful watercolour.

Handy to know:
- This image is NOT a digital drawing or A.i. (Artificial intelligence), but rather a handmade illustration, created with an interest and passion for drawing, painting and the graphic craft.

The Eierland lighthouse stands at the northernmost tip of the island of Texel and was completed in 1864 and is a beacon for ships on the North Sea and Wadden Sea.
