If you're reading this, you probably already know that I am Kirsten and that I am going on exchange to the Netherlands for the fall semester of 2006. This blog will document my adventures in the Netherlands and the rest of Europe while I'm away.

Growing up through art

This is going to be completely random: so Today I finally got around to going to the art store which I had noticed many times which is near Blaak (the market) and I found eleventy billion things that I wanted (I should have known better than to go into the art store) so I settled for pastels, I came home an proceeded to draw. To tell you the truth, despite not being a really wondeful artist, when I have no art of any form in my life there is sort of this void, thus me buying the pastels. Now this got me to thinking. When you're young aged 3 to 10 you usually use markers to draw, then between the ages of 10 and 20 you move onto pencil crayons, to me it logically it seems that I would the progress to some higher art utencil use in my twenties, so I have now welcomed pastels into my life. I told you it was going to be random.

those are really good flower dear. I don't remember ever using markers, I think the unevenness of the colour pissed me off.
