VIP Class Notes (Tibo)

I started my other niece from a photo.
She is in Columbia. I grew up with my grandma so I talk my uncle and my aunt was my brother and sister so then maybe 10 years old my grandma told me about my mother so I grew up with they

That information doesn’t change my way of thinking , my grandma was my mother.

My grandma had 10 children and now they are married and have children so now I have 16 nieces. But really they are my cousins.
But they treat me like their sister and my nieces treat me like their aunt.

And because I paint and draw and now I am learning how draw portrait and they want I paint everyone but it is too much people so I said I will draw only my nieces.
Depends the time I want to spend in it because sometimes I don’t go to my class so sometimes I don’t go or I don’t have class.
The more difficult to paint is to catch the expression. Because you can find in the eyes or the mouth. Some very small points if you don’t paint it you don’t catch the real expression.
The measurement maybe is wrong

some people say you painting really really good but I am very tough on myself so I focus on the issues.
My friend she likes to take photos and she started 3 years ago and then she went to another city

and then print it and put in a frame and she does an exhibition in a gallery and sell that.
Every picture was for charity  / to pay for primary school for 1 year

I am shy to show my photos.

She knows a little bit of Spanish because she lived in Spain when she was studying and then when she come here we met start to have meetings and she improved a lot and her husband too.
He knows nothing in Spanish but now he speaks a lot of Spanish.
Maybe some people have a gift for learning languages.
