my goodness.. i am envious..

how do you manage to control water color? do you have a degree in the arts?

~jvk Aug 13, 2006

Hi. Thank you for your comments. I don't have a degree because even with the grants and loans available I still can't afford to go to university, although I was offered a place for this autumn. I just pick things up at any classes I can get into for free, and I went to a leisure class in watercolours for a year. You can't beat joining a class for learning to do something quickly, because you learn from other peoples mistakes as well as your own. I'm hoping to get a job teaching crafts next year, somehow by-passing the degree thing.

Well then. Experience remains the best teacher. I hope to be that good in the visual arts too. If I had a choice I would have chosen to learn more about the craft but then fate dictates that I must taken on a career path which is the opposite of art, the monotony and the mechanical sciences. I think I could learn more about it by other means. I hope you don't mind the wach.

Ooooo, thank you! I reckon the Viking lifestyle had a lot of good things going for it. A re-enactment group staged a Viking funeral on my local canal last year, and burned a boat,
but they got fed up and burned it earlier than scheduled and everyone missed it. Idiots.
