I am an artist. I am in my first year of art school. My favourite material to paint with is acrylic. I don't have any savings. I want a crimson colour paint. I am trying to sell my artwork at a coffee shop.
I sometimes drive to fast. I had a driving incident.  I have nearly died once before. I am tall and have a gentle heart. I am driving more carefully. I have a bike. I like the colour crimson. I like art and am not good at art.
I sold my painting at the coffee shop for 325 dollars so I can buy the crimson colour! Nice, anything in the spectrum/shade of the color red will never disappoint. That was a good deal you got on your art especially being in the first year of art school Yeah I am very proud that a piece of mine sold. With this color of red I am purchaseing can paint my next vison, the grand apple. It will be an apple at the top of mount Olympus  Haha that sounds great. Hopefully you get to sell your future masterpiece for even more. Have you ever tried digital painting or painting with oil paint Well acrylic will  always be my preferred medium, I'm old school like that. But I do see a bright future for all the young artists trying to master the digital medium. As far as oil paints go I find them to be far too messy. I'm bad at art, but I definitely prefer the old school material more. So how is art school treating you? Is it hard?  Art school is very challenging. I often find that artists just want inspiration from others not instruction. So sometimes I have to swallow my pride and allow the teachers to show me "art" through their perspective. I see what you mean, and I can definitely relate it to it. I don't like the structure of higher education. I learn better on my own, and with something as subjective as art, I can see how the rigidness can be a problem. Did you put part of the 325 in your savings?  Hahah I am glad you see things my way, art will always be in the eye of the beholder as they say. No I was not able to put any of the money away to my savings account. Does the phrase starving artist ring a bell? LOL. I'm no artist but I can relate to the starvation part with all the speeding tickets I have racked up from my reckless driving. I might just ride my bike from now on.
