Looks like the Swedish classic film Dunderklumpen. It's both a cartoon and filmed in the North of Sweden.

The subtle glow in the water from undercoats really makes the water pop I love it

I know when you said summer, you might have meant generic summer. However I would love to know summer in which region.
Each region has its own special summer hues, I am interested to know, where these colours are from.

I have tried digital watercolor and have come to the conclusion that I like traditional better.

Yeah. The ability to get the brush really wet and combine or move colors around is like, kind of the point!

That's so cool. My best friend is settled in Sweden. Might i bother you, what time of day is it from (never been to Sweden myself)

When I painted this I had an early summer day in mind.

Beautiful! I'm curious how long you've been doing watercolors?
FiggeArt OP t1_izt7xsj wrote
I started with watercolor almost 2 years ago but started painting 10 years ago with acrylic. Now I can't let go of the watercolors🙂
gutted_wreck t1_izt8qfn wrote

I really love the colours and perspective. I'm in awe of people who can use water colour like this! I can paint ok with oils but just can't figure out water colour.
FiggeArt OP t1_iztnypu wrote
For me it's the opposite. If I try something other than watercolor, I feel lost. Even though I started with acrylic a long time ago, I have a hard time going back to it.

I love this! It looks so peaceful and serene, and hats off to you because watercolor is hard! Nice. :)

Well at this point I wouldn't either. You have real talent. This is clearly your medium for now, run with it!

Thanks this is what I have tried in the past. I have just can't make my colours look like that. With oils I use a base coat of white paint and I find it to be an incredibly forgiving medium because of how long it takes to dry...you definitely don't have this leeway with water colour in my experience. Thanks for taking the time answering my questions. I appreciate it.

The colors are so beautiful and the scene so peaceful. If you don’t mind me asking, how long does a piece like this take?

This is stellar. Where did you learn to watercolor paint? I've been thinking about getting into it but i'm not really sure how

I love the light and dark contrast. The sky is absolutely beautiful. This is perfect not too much and not too little which is very hard to accomplish with watercolors. Great job!
