These days, I have changed my timetable so that I work just four days a week instead of five. That leaves me with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to work on my painting. I’d love to give up my job pletely and spend all of my time painting, but I work in Information Technology and it pays pretty well. I want to study at an art college, so I have to keep the job for the money I need for the lessons.I first became interested in art in primary school. I would go outside during holidays with some paper and colored pencils, and just draw anything I saw, like gardens or scenery. During high school, we had art classes twice a week. There, I learned how to use chalk and different kinds of paint, like watercolors and oils. Those classes were really useful for me. I’ve been on a club called “painting holidays”, where you go out into the countryside, paint during the day, and then discuss your work with other artists after dinner. You learn so much talking to other people interested in the field. I’ll finish by showing you a video of the places I’ve visited. After that, there’ll be some time for questions. Thanks!10.
