      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. πŸ˜„

          Oh man, thank you for nice compliments.
          Yeah it is Magid intentionally, as Majid is pronounced similar to magic...

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

                        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.

                              Last day came across the St. Johann Baptist church, near my brother's stay. Did this for a friend in Munich.

                                  Just spared some time to do some modeling and rendering as a fun task.

                                        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.

                                          I was mainly in Solln, far from downtown, and it was a cozy place.
