My favorite character in "Romeo and Juliet"

After reading the book "Romeo and Juliet", I don't have any favorite character in the movie. If I have to choose one, I'll choose Juliet because she looks like mischievious and has like two personalities, the girl side and the woman side. The girl side is the one that is inlove and the woman side is the one that rebels, her decisions took her to kill herself and challenged her familly.

My favorite actress opinion

Anne Hathaway is my favorite actress because of the way she acts. In movies that she has been on, she looks like an outgoing, but also looks humble and seems to be sweet. She’s like those good actresses that don’t need scandal as those Hollywood ones. She’s not just an actress; she’s also a singer. The movie where she acted and that I enjoy the most is Princess Diaries and the one I enjoy less is Ella Enchanted. Despite that movie wasn’t the best, the performance of Anne caught my attention. I like her integrity, personality and also that her teenager’s life was similar to mine, except the part of being an actress.

My first strokes will never be forgotten.

I remember the elephant, the penguins, the ducks and the giraffes that were in my drawings book. I loved asking my parents to buy me those books at the store. What I did was copying on a white sheet the drawing that I like the most in that moment. I kept all my drawings in a folder without saying a word to anyone. One day I asked my mom to get me into painting lessons, she got really surprised but didn’t care about it. One day she saw me copying one drawing and as she saw me so interested she finally accepted.



During the first years in my painting class I just copied the figures that the teacher drew. Day by day I improved my work, getting better and better until they gave me the good news that I had enough ability to start painting in another technique. It was amazing because I started with other materials. I began making practices with charcoals, then paintings in pastel, now oleos in canvas and soon I will continue with waterpainting and so on.

The best of all was that this began as a hobby, but now is my favorite activity. It is wonderful to be in front of my easel where I can lose my mind inside the painting. Thinking on nothing else, just painting, checking volumes, textures and then after a few months my oleo painting is finished. I would like to do my own paintings, or my own art style, my own compositions and stop copying famous artists like Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet or others as I do now. I know that one day I’ll do it. Meanwhile I am learning, and the most important thing is that I enjoy what I’m doing. After almost 8 years of painting, finally three of my paintings visited a gallery; this was very important because I received my first achievement for being on that gallery!

One day, someone told me that a good painter must never gift his paintings. I am not pretending to be the best but I never gift mines. In my whole life I just gifted 2 of them. The first one was for my grandpa, the best person in my heart, and the second one was a gift for nuns that live in Montreal. It has been the most difficult thing to gift because it took me a lot of work. It was the image of the Guadalupe Virgin and that isn’t easy to paint. For me painting is a form of expressing my feelings and emotions. The creativity in the trace is my weakness but the color and the sceneries are the ones easy for me. As I all ready said, this started being a hobby, now is what I enjoy doing the most and maybe this will be my job in the future. Who knows?
