Choosing a color for your Watercolor City Blocks Map is the fun part, I think. Close your eyes and conjure the memories you have here, with the people you love, the scenery that stirs your soul, the buildings and places that signify important events and daily grinds, the flora and fauna, the air.... Not to overwhelm you! Ha! This Map of Portland will conjure those things I think, in the color the client chose that reminds her of the city in winter, muted greens, blues and greys. . . . #turnofthecenturies #myhandsmaking #mapart #byhand #map #watercolormap #drawnbyhand #portland #portlandia #portlandmap #portlandor #portlandoregon #portlandwinter #watercolor #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #bycommission #byhand #oregon (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp4e93lgO3u/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1buxqpb2n2d4n

Hello, Dublin! I pondered on the past as I drew all of your tiny vein-like secondary roads. See the last photo.😆 . . . #dublin #dublinmap #dublinireland #ireland #map #mapdrawing #drawing #drawnbyhand #myhandsmaking #carveouttimeforart #doitfortheprocess #mapart #bycommission

I’ve never known Bucharest. I’ve never known how wonderfully web-like its plan is...It reminds me of a stained glass window. The streets are not overly planned, just point to point, creating interesting shapes for blocks. I love drawing these city maps but I would be thrilled to be able to watercolor the blocks. Each interesting little shape. Let me know if you might be interested in commissioning a watercolor city blocks map of any of these 14 European city maps I will be drawing over the next few weeks! If you’re willing to wait, I have a list and may get to it this year!😊🤞🏻 . . . #drawnbyhand #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #myhandsmaking #bucharest #bucharestromania #bucharestmap #map #mapdrawing #wip #blackandwhite #bycommission

Done! Star marks the spot of the client's office building. This is a "housewarming gift" to himself upon his new purchase of the building which will also house his chiropractic clinic. My grandpa was a chiropractor and my uncles and cousin carry on the tradition so I was all pleased to work with this client and delighted to have this original, meaningful art map hang in his offices. Thanks, Chuck! . . . #citymap #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #watercolor #watercolormap #neworleans #cylcollective #nola #neworleansmap #bycommission #turnofthecenturies #green #star #marksthespot

New Orleans Watercolor City Blocks Map by commission. A star marks the client's building in the city and his business logo appears below the map, with star. I normally only include a title (the city name) on prints but the client requested it and we changed the standard 16 x 16 format to 16 x 20 to add NEW ORLEANS and his business logo. . . . #citymap #doitfortheprocess #carveouttimeforart #watercolor #watercolormap #neworleans #cylcollective #nola #neworleansmap #bycommission #turnofthecenturies #green #star #marksthespot
