I looked at the images I've gathered - my own childhood photos, photos I took in childhood, surroundings I've been/lived in... and sketched. I did some watercolour/ink experiments as well - I particularly liked the picture of me with the bicycle that I didn't know how to ride for the race. I feel that it was a pivotal point in my childhood as it symbolised the (stupid) courage I had.

The water-soluble oils work great in my opinion - I've been so scared to use oil and thicker mediums but I am actually really loving it. I finally feel like my paintings are creating some sort of space, hopefully.
