BK3 Period 2, trading my pencil for a brush

Well it was very exhausting finishing my paintings the last week before the final presentation of period 2. Staying late at college made me hate fridays when they close at 18:00 already instead of 20:00. Anyway, the presentation was good, they noticed i worked a lot on it in 2 weeks time.

But there are a few things have to work on:
- sometimes i have to let go my control whenever painting feels as if I'm in ecstasy, then i just have to go on and see what happens afterwards...go with the flow >.<

- research which canvas/paper size would be better, trying more kinds of size ratios, like instead of 80x100, i could use 40x100 or 100x100, its something i have to focus on now. I used to do that with drawings, but when buying the canvasses for those paintings i opted for the cheap ones which only had regular sizes.

well here is a slide show of the paintings, the first 2 are small 30x40 or something and the last 2 are 80x100.

The photo of the chalk drawing on the road was for the "Public Space" project in which we had to either make something on the spot, or put one of our old works in a public space that isnt directly Art related. My chalk drawing is a reaction on the small canal that is streaming nearby that road. I walk past it everytime i go to the art supply shop and I have never seen were that canal ends so i thought it might be fun to make an illusion as if it was underneath this particular road. The photo was taken from a metal stairs that was going up to a house of someone and it provided an opportunity to see the drawing from above int eh correct form. Viewing from the road it looks distorted.
