My oil painting class has shown me a few things...

First is that oil painting is NOT the evil, want-to-murder-you-with-difficulty process I thought it was. Surprise surprise! It's now tons more simple then acrylics in my book.

Secondly, oil painting and painting in general is more fun then I thought it was and I'm better at it then I expected I was.

Thirdly...the SECOND I choose science over art, I get into my first art show. Go figure. Now I have a picture {Photo-manipulation = My deviant ID} in one art show and a picture {Rust band river} and a drawing in another, a harder one to get into so I'm super excited over that. For my photo-manipulation I actually won an award. The awards ceremony for the other, harder show is on the 16th of April so I'll have to wait until then to see if my luck gets even better. I'm really excited over that because my art teacher is going to be coming down to see it too. wish me luck, eh? ._.
I'll
Talking about oil painting and my traditional art, I'll be hopefully putting up pictures of them all soon. I was going to do so today but I found out that I don't have completely recent pictures of them T_T Grr...

If you guessed what, guess what? YOU WIN! yay!
:iconrain-memory:
What other messages where you talking about? On messenger, ja? I seemed to not really be able to send you messages either.
:iconshadowsofwhite:
Aye, this is rather odd. It seems I can simply not send it to your phone. My phone has been having... issues, and so I haven't been able to reply via text messages on it.
