so the time of crisis is finally here, n done. my sis weddin which was actually fun n lively! XD but then managin it with skool timings was a pain-in-the-ass, so here i was awke from 5 in the mornin came to skool, had a staybak for e.m, went home, took a bath n got ready for another event, n came bak home at 2:30, slept for barely 2.5 hrs, n again woke up at 5 n acme to skool! i even started sleepin in the bus which was quite literally impossible for me before, (even now i stil cant sleep but i can doze off to a certain lvl of unciousness) despite the fact that mocks r comin up just next week, i still have opened my bks, n gladly accepted an offer from the art teacher to paint on a canvas, at the open house day! cuz i felt kinda bad for her for dissin her every offer. quite a no of ppl were supposed to come from the 10th gr but i saw none (ofcourse no one is such an idiot to waste a holiday in skool!) the canvases were mainly supposed to be painted by gr10s but seein none, most of the gr9s showed up to fill the space, ofcourse some were already selected while others just volunteered, a guy beside me made a scenery of dubai blending in the past n the future with a river, a girl named sajida (who left her paintin incomplete!) painted some monument here in uae, then another canvas had bedouins on their camels, another painted a some sorta old arab house with pots hanging on a string,
i was pretty clueless bout mine, plus the last time i painted was an year bak, so i just hope the art teacher's expectations weren't so high, i searched thrhough alotta reference bks, n found a small paintin of hibiscus (the pic on the book was bout 1x2inch) so it was kinda hard to copy the details, plus i dun think i would have been able to create a controlled splatter efect with just a brush, if only i had a tooth brush! oh well, it took bout 5 mins to create the sketch, since this was my first time drawin on a canvas, i did mess up the first petal :(, i started by apply the base colour (yelow) on the whole petal then blend it with orange, n create dark tones with red n brown, the thing is wen i started with the red i realized that the paint erases off if u stroke alot on a particular spot especialy if ur brush has a alotta water in it, not knowin this, i was nicely doin a million strokes n was shocked to find a pinkish red (original colour of the paint) instead of the warm red that i was lookin for that i though should have been created after being applied upon yellow n orange, but soon i got a hang of the technique n did it, by the time i came to the second flower i was a bit tired, n the stems looked the worst cuz i just wanted the paintin to get over...i started at 9 n worked continously n finished it at 2;30 so thats like 5hrs n 30mins? shit i cant believe i sat on the chair for that long. plus there was this stupid doc who wanted to paint but was clueless n kept buggin after ever 2 mins, 'ee, is this ok no?' or ''now which colour should i put'' really annoyin! i mean wen i was workin i wasn't really consious of ppl lookin at my paintin at all since i was soo 'focused'' (as said by the headmaster) but i also like to work in peace n quietness. by the end of it i was soo bored, frustrated, n irritated, plus this fatso dude who was supposed to do his duty came at our table all the time, he commented on the docs paintin (supposed to be a first timer, n said that she didn't have art in her skool, plzz couldn't u come with a better excuse to get more praise?) n commented on mine, n the said that my henna was nice, i was like uh thnks with a polite tone n smile. he came again, sayin if i needed anythin to eat n then ask the teacher, i was like dude r u some butler? or a personal servant. seein how he was willingly tryin to get himself involved, i asked him to gimme a hand in doin the bg, it was just blotching paint on the canvas with the brush n my hand was pretty tired, he did for awhile, but lookin at how he was scared that he may ruin the paintin, i took the brush bak from him, n told him to search for the yellow paint, it was fun to order him around, plus since he was a fatso he didn't have much of an attitude. i was prety bored so i chatted with hime for awhile, ahh but the 9th gr were desperate i suppose...:P they came n started chit chattin, as i soon as i finished i left my seat n started roamin arond...the fatso came after me later wen i was sittin alone at the bench, almost dead lookin, with my hair messed up, my tie hangin down, belt opened n hangin dowin as always n my slouchy state must have made him feel srry for me, but i told him to get lost in a friendly manner but i guess my face didn't look so friendly, n so i just waited for the day to end.
now i m gonna start stuyin like crazy for e.m. wishin everyone best of luck for their mocks!
