Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem

Nice watercolour Seok, brings back memories of a hectic tour of Israel I had twenty odd years ago.

Many thanks, Stephen! I totally understand what you mean about "hectic tour"! I have never seen so many ruins, churches, synagogues and olive trees in 10 days!

Another nice watercolour painting Seok with an interesting subject painted in your usual fine style, like this a lot..

Terrific composition again Seok and beautiful subtle colours. Love it.

Stunning painting Seok, I really like the composition, beautifully painted

A very lovely watercolour Seok, great figures and you must have a very steady hand to be able to paint that window in the background so perfectly.

I agree with Val, a very steady hand needed to paint such an impressive window, and a place I have been to, though many moons ago now!

Always look forward to your postings and never dissapointed - great composition Seok

Beautiful as always Seok, I love everything about it. Well done.

Lovely detail and beautiful colours Seok - another masterpiece

Nothing left for me to say Seok, except that I totally agree with all the above comments....beautiful painting.

My you are really so good at these paintings Seok, love your colours.

Thank you so very much, everyone! Val and Debs, have to tell you it has nothing to do with a steady hand but a nifty ruler! I use the ruler like a mask to get my lines fairly straight. My art teacher would be appalled if he read this, because he has a really steady hand and always insisted that I practice without a ruler, but I saw a very accomplished artist do it once with a ruler, and I thought it was a pretty clever way of ensuring straight lines when one isn't quite at the requisite level!

Lots of super detail which must have taken quite a while to paint. Love this combination of figures and architecture. Visited 19 years ago, it was pretty busy then too :)

Thanks so very much, Lesley! Yes, the crowds were pretty much everywhere and getting a decent shot was difficult!

beautiful colours and composition.

Missed this one - sorry! Another of your wonderful busy and interesting scenes with your signature muted background and all the colour concentrated in the people. I found the explanation very interesting and it added to my enjoyment of your lovely painting.

Thank you so very much, Ellie and Thea!

I agree with Glennis, and I like how you managed to make it look 3-D. You are certainly gifted with your wonderful style. :)

Thank you very much, Sarah!

This certainly is a masterpiece Seok! The details of the stone and brick work are really good and the perspective correct. Amazing!

I am always a bit late with my comments, Seok, so everyone else have already said it all! Would like to add, though, that you are very courageous (and able) with people in your pictures. They make the pics come alive and are always well executed - delightful

Thank you very much Satu and Jorgen!
