Beautiful Amsterdam
-
Thanks a million. An unseen friend here bought me some spare time. I appreciate it.
-
Thanks for showing these mate. They are wonderful and brighten up every day.
-
Special thank to you Mike, you made it possible.

Today was a foggy day. The Amstel River bank is part of my route to university. I took several pictures and now painted one of them. I realized that those similar nuances of the colors are really hard to grasp.
-
These are lovely sketches, thanks for sharing them here!
-
...yes, all these works are not only of impressive quality but above all so beautiful!
-
This is why I have some spare time to do sketches ( as I also sell them for a low price that helps me pay the rent):
I think this post well deserves a dedicated topic, and during the last two months, I have been thinking to reveal it or not. Or do I have permission to reveal it or not; Finally decided to share it and this is the story:
One of our virtual community (Sketchucation) members, as far as noticed that I am moving to the green continent (for the course I have attended), approached me and did a great job that I may never ever find a word to show my respect and gratitude for.
Despite the living facts that we all are facing, he is sending me a financial aid each month, (that is almost the same as my monthly salary that I lost as I quitted my previous job to join the course).
I am overwhelmed, and during these dark days that we are facing nowadays (conflicts, wars ...) this is what gives meaning to the words such as "humanity", "prosperity", "generosity", "sympathy"...
Mates, this is so overwhelming... so overwhelming... so precious and invaluable.
I hope soon to be able to do something for him. -
Glad that you have found a place where you (and hopefully you family) can live in peace. Also glad someone is able to help you financially.

My course is really tense, by the way, I dedicated 15 min each day for several weeks to do a painting of Her Majesty Queen Maxima.

Oh man, thank you for nice compliments.
Yeah it is Magid intentionally, as Majid is pronounced similar to magic...My inspiring A, B, Sketches book: https://lnkd.in/eJNtvJWS

Ah, I just realized that... It was really tough to reach 100percent similarity using watercolor, and this is the reference photo:

Happy New Year all!
I wish you a very happy healthy wealthy new year!
Some new watercolors.

Very beautiful indeed.

Thank you Dave! It seems I am getting better at it.

On Jan 24th we delivered our project "SportyVerse" and received the certificate of course completion on 26th. Now I am living in Munich, for just a few weeks, applying for a proper job (as an architect, CAD/BIM specialist or rendering expert in Germany / Netherlands).
So less spare time. Today I had the chance to spare some time and do this. The Basilica of Saint Nicholas in Amsterdam is one of my favorites.
-
I wish my mind could conceive things like this.
Again,
BTW: Good luck in Munich.
-
Thank you, Dave!
Munich is charming city also, and more color in the sky,... I was stuffed with grayish sky
