Reykjavik in watercolor

Reykjavik houses are known to be painted in bright colors. I think one of my favorite qualities about this northernly capital is the bold colors they paint their homes. This is a simulation from a photo that I painted in M. Graham watercolors. I used a lot of colors with cadmium in it, and I love the bright opaque qualities of it.

Watercolors are my newest experiment, and this painting turned out well for experimenting, but I didn't care for the paper. Next time I will use a 100% cotton paper for the durability.
