Greetings, guys. Happy new year! While it's only a piece from my sketchbook, I felt there was something in the way the expressions came out that warranted this being coloured. Only a quickie.

Passed on it when I was a kid. Accursed child mind and its blind fanboyism.
Oh, the piccy's fine, too. Excellent reproduction of the film's style.
Love the background, actually (I tend to look at backgrounds alot lately). I've always enjoyed that "Mediterranean" style of building. Red rooves n' all. Contrasts well against a deliciously blue sky.
Never understood the Western European obsession with brown, black, and grey for... well, everything. Wood and stone make those colors, I guess.
No clay.
No magnificent red clay.

Northern europe has a harsher climate, that is likely to erode any plaster on buildings, etc. Something that might have looked bright when freshly built, will accumulate grime and dirt and generally succumb to cooler winters.
Also, Spain is closer to the equator, which means they get more sun that isn't shining at as low an angle than further north. This likely means there is more of a bleaching effect happening.
Also... are you sorry you asked yet? It's much to do with light temperature. In northern europe, the light has a bluish hue which makes any warm colours look grey and desaturated anyway. In bright Spain, the light is more yellow which basically explodes any saturation. Saw this on an interior design programme where someone in Britain wanted to decorate their house with bright colours, and the advice was that they won't have the same effect in the duller light of the island.
However, it has been said that Henry VIII's era buildings were always brightly coloured with intricate designs.
ARGH!
And you should see this film. It's quite fun!... one lame song in there though.
I like to think Maine has a slightly pink tint. Year round, really.
Henry VIII was reportedly a very excessive monarch. So I can believe that about the architecture of his rule.
Also, I would never tl;dr anything you write.
Promise.
Have a go, it must be really cheap in the stores now.
HMV is shutting many of its shops, so wahey, deals ahoy.
