Day 14: Yay for Painting!!!

I am finally getting watercolor... and not a moment to soon, i leave for Italy in 3 days and that means we move onto oil painting and leave watercolor behind. For some odd reason, i became incredibly motivated to sit down and pop out 3 good watercolors. i have posted two of them. they aren't the best things in the world, but i am at least learning and really begining to enjoy it! oh and sorry about the picture quality too:)

The weather is horrible here today, pouring rain and cold. we had class inside today, lots of photography critique and painting critiques. after class let out it was lunch time, so i made my self a quick sandwich then went right to work. since it was too gross outside to paint, i painted from pictures i had previously taken (on beautiful, sunny days i might add). so anyway i sat down and painted for a good 3 hours and listened to a lot of music.

after that i started packing up everything again to move to Italy in a few days. (for all of you... ABI... that are thinking 'why are you packing when you dont leave until thursday', well i do have a reason:) ) we are going into London tomorrow for another strand of museuming... yes i just made up a new word i think:)... any way, we will be there all day and then wed we have our final day of painting as well as a trip to blenheim palace for the afternoon, then Ron Morgan (the head of study abroad here in oxford) is taking us all out for a nice goodbye dinner that night. then thursday morning we head off at about 7:45am.
