Watercolor



A lot has happened in the last few days, mainly work. Lots and lots of work. Yesterday our first assignment was due. It was some basic analysis assigned as a group project. We then had a huge review where a faculty member critiques a group while another group that isn't being critiqued sits in on the review. It was all very complicated, but in the end we got 3 critiques and got to critique 3 times all within 3 hours. That is an efficiency UT has never had.
We both finished our projects about 11:30 the night before it was due and raced toward the train station. The train stops at running regularly at 12:00, only running once every two ours after. 
Friday we had our first watercolor class. I think it is spectacular. The teacher is an architect that used to watercolor as a hobby, but when she started teaching she really got into it. Nonetheless, she is a great instructor thus far. We did a few quick assignments - making even tones, mixing wet on wet, and some gradations. It is ultra relaxing, and it really makes you slow down and take a breath... here are just a few examples of what we did. More pictures can be found on the photo link.



Last night it snowed more, it's beautiful. Today though, we really want to go see the Black Diamond - The Royal Library - and maybe the Danish Jewish Museum designed by Daniel Libeskind. It looks amazing. We also need to go to the art store to get some more watercolor supplies. Have a good one!
