About this work

This watercolor shows a city scene with soft blues and grays. Tall buildings fade into the distance. The street below has tiny figures and cars. Michou’s loose brushwork makes the scene feel alive. He used watercolor’s see-through layers, called glazing, to blend colors gently. The painting catches a quiet moment in an ordinary town. If you like this, try another watercolor by the same hand: Michou, Sotirios (1936-2010).
