Art by Locals in Berlin or Munich??

Hi all, anyone have any ideas where to purchase locally produced paintings, sketches or watercolors from local artists in Berlin and/or Munich? On my last trip to Paris I found tons of paintings for sale at vendors along the Seine. In Rothenburg, I found a local painter with a small storefront that sold watercolors and sketches that he drew/painted...very nicely done too.

I'm traveling to Berlin and down to Munich for the Christmas markets and was hoping to pick up some art of the Reichstag, Brandenburg Tor, etc. Any ideas?? I know there are some flea markets throughout Berlin on the weekends and I was planning on visiting them but any advice would be definitely appreciated. Thanks!

On my last Christmas market trip to Germany we visited the market in the Schwabing district of Munich. The vendors were all local and regional artisans with really unique hand-crafted items and totally different from the Christmas market in the Munich Marienplatz. I'm remembering at least one booth that featured artwork but it's been a few years ago... I think Schwabing is the 'artsy' area of Munich so there are no doubt shops that will have art.
