Day 18: Painting

This morning, a few of my classmates crowded around my graphite drawing of my baby cousin. I did not mean to show it off or anything, people just kept asking if they could see it. Anyway, they took the drawing out and a few seconds later my social teacher, Mr. MacCormac saw the drawing. I loved the expression I saw on his face! Haha, one of my favorite moment is when people just cannot believe what I drew. I love their jaw dropping, wide-eyed expressions. Though I get all weird because I just do not know what to say but, "Thank you!" Anyway, he then told me that I HAVE to see him after class. So I did.

That last social 20-1 class was spent by watching the movie V for Vendetta. Meeng, that movie is pretty awesome! Though we did not get to finish it, I plan to watch it all by borrowing the dvd from a friend. During the movie, Mr.MacCormac kept reminding me to see him after class...this got me a little nervous though, especially because near the end, the movie was placing me into a "top secret" mood kind of thing. Once everyone was out (except for one) he then asked me if I knew how to paint. I was like..."Uh oh, deeng I'm only good in graphite!" But did not said it loudly. Then he told me how he commissioned some paintings from previous students and that he was willing to pay me money to have a painting commission done by me. I was like, "FOR REALS SIR?!" But said it only to myself. The only thing I could say loudly was.."Umm, I'm not really good in painting, Sir". Then he told me to think about it and tell him if I still want to do it when we get back from the exams.

To be honest, I really do not know if I should do it. I only had two painting experiences and the second one I am doing now is not turning the way I want it to be. I blame lack of materials and too detailed models. Naaah, it is probably because I need more experience to get the hang of it. I really wish I tried painting during the summer. Meeeng, if I did maybe I would have told him "YES SIR!" Hmm, you know what? If the painting I am doing now for art turns out looking pretty good in the end, then I will try and paint what he wants me to paint. If not, then I will just ask the image and see how detailed it is, if I think I can do it then I will. If too detailed.. then probably not. lol. Oh yeah, he only commissions paintings, not graphites. :( Hmmm, looks like I have a new hobby to improve this summer. :)

About the photo: I played around a bit with the brushes I own using the Canon Powershot SX1IS. Turned out pretty nice! :D
