twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

After working with oils and acrylics for my coursework, and also doing sketches using graphite and charcoal, I finally picked up my coloured pencils again about two days ago, and I'm hooked again. I remember days in Sec4, when they said coloured pencils was my forte, but I was never quite convinced. I'm still not convinced though. I still don't know what my forte is. Nevertheless, I'm really enjoying myself. After writing four essays today I think this is the best way to unwind. I'll try to get pictures up soon. Really now I wish I could do my whole D&P in coloured pencils but I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it in 3hours. I love to play with colours, and just drawing a hand and a metal railing alone I used 11 colours - a bit too time consuming? I don't know. I guess that's a question I'm gonna ask the teachers this Saturday.

It's quite sad, knowing that after this, I'll be done with art. Especially if I get the scholarship, then I'll be in there and not have time to do art. Sigh. I hope that somehow by some miraculous empyrean intervention I'll still have time to paint, sketch, take photos etc. I don't know how I'll be able to cope without art.

I don't think the photos do the drawings justice, honestly. I deliberately blurred them to make it look "softer"
