That was the view for my first academic successful watercolor sketch I drew in my first year studying art. Back in 1997. God knows where is this sketch now. I got Excellent for this specific one. It was unbelievable. Dancing and running like a happy ostrich It took me 2 weeks. I remember very well. I used to go to the same spot almost everyday, sit on the same stone at the same hour of the day, to keep the light accurate. There wasn't any nowadays luxury -laziness in another word- to keep a camera in my bag for clicking photos and work on the sketch at home. I was an obedient student, probably during the first semester, things changed afterwards gradually. In 2015, I went to that garden, searched for the spot, at the hour. And clicked the button, I have a picture of the landscape now. Flooded memories are here. #selffindingchallenge #dissolvingnigativeenergy #lostandfound #artist #art #drawing #watercolor #landscape #garden #green #oldasadam #20yearsago #celebratingmaturity #green #studyingart #studentlife (at Antoniades Garden Alexandria)
