I loved every minute of it, but it was slow going at first. This map is made up of 64 painted images. Those are some of my favourite, including one in particular, but I will get back to that later. I took inspiration from architectural plans, which are so often painted in watercolour. It still looks fresh to this day and is one of my favourites. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the awe-inspiring Stamen watercolor map. I am also very drawn to fantasy maps, and the watercolour skill in that genre is phenomenal. There are too many watercolor map artists to mention, but over the years I’ve tried to take mental notes on their work to build a catalogue of things I liked.Īs an aside, I can’t tell you how many great winery and travel maps are painted so beautifully. I can’t think of anything created in a vacuum.
