Very talented!

Have you ever visited the Amsterdam archive for inspiration on Amsterdam building details? https://archief.amsterdam/beeldbank/?mode=gallery&view=horizontal&page=1&fq[]=search_s_sk_documenttype:"bouwtekening"&reverse=0&q=&sort=random{1730826613397} asc

Greetings,

Thanks, mates and dear Bep for sharing your thoughts and the link to the city archive. Amsterdam is an astounding miniature of sheer beauty and a lovely city full of architectural details to be discovered over a lifetime.
This is great I will benefit and I used to see some amazing drawings from the archive.
The postcards are not meant to be artistic or documentary. They are for a very helpful friend of mine who sells them to the city visitors ( https://www.fineartprints.nl/?srsltid=AfmBOorfvXMCOuFizu2hSoBIPPQRZ4jHzoSUkftRSBaOHGgtffN-DK4P). So I have to make them cheap in less time...Also some repetitive elements such as goblestones, canals, bridges, a bicycle, city lamps and boats must be included and all in all not bigger than A5 paper size, mainly A6!
I have to make many and not two the same... By the way an enjoyable thing to do.

I already have shared a few watercolor videos on youtube and I hope you find them handy. Here is one of them ( mute the sound plz):

I spent some time finalizing and publishing a new short Skillshare course. This is after grand masters; James Fletcher-Watson and Edward Seago. I have tried to simplify and describe everything in detail:
