Beautiful Amsterdam

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.

Really great painting Majid. I wish I could go something like that.
BTW: On the website you name was Magid.

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 -
Last day came across the St. Johann Baptist church, near my brother's stay. Did this for a friend in Munich.
-
Great pictures mate, hugely talented.
-
Thank you dear Mike.
Just spared some time to do some modeling and rendering as a fun task.

Last one and a half months I have been busy applying and constantly job hunting living in Solln, Munich. Today I spared some time to make this.

@majid
As usual, Majid - nice work. I wish I had the talent to generate something like this. -
@ntxdave
I spent a couple of years in Germany while I was in the US army (late 1966 to late 1968) and I think I drove through Munich but am not sure.
