a week of fountain pen sketches, revision and reading🍀moments in the studio | ep. 74

hi, I hope you’re doing well!
Everything is chaos at the moment as I'm preparing for these last two exams so I'm sorry if videos are even more inconsistent than usual, but here's the weekly video I filmed two weeks ago 👉🏽👈🏽
Trying to make it all work but it feels like all I do atm is study, sleep and go to the lab every once in a while so it's all a bit upside down in regards to everything else. I'm still trying to film and edit when I can because I've felt like not having that as part of my week when I'm so used to it has contributed to making things feel more overwhelming because there really isn't much of that balance I usually work so hard to upkeep.
Anyways, all will be fine, and regardless of how these exams actually go (though please send good luck for them🍀I would very much like to be proper done with exams for this degree) it will be over in twenty or so days, at the very least until September.
hope you're having slightly quieter weeks and that this could keep you company for a bit,
Sara

sorry about the strange/abrupt music cut around 24:30 and 27! had to change it with the yt editor because the background song I'd used got recognised (as a different song??? genuinely very confused) and copyright claimed 🥲
hope it isn't too striking, and wish you a lovely day if you're reading this!!

I want to encourage you not to be intimidated by classics. I think, in most cases, “intimidating” books’ difficulty is overstated. Like, they’re deep enough that people can philosophize over them endlessly but you don’t have to do that, you can just read them like any other book.

[@untitled_paintings]

That is a very kind thought! I don’t think I explained it well but I actually really love classics and for a long time it was all I read. Some of my favourite books are classics and I hold them very dear. At the moment, however, I have felt like reading something more contemporary both because it’s just what I’m in the mood for (and because I previously hadn’t been reading for a few years, I feel like I have so many wonderful books to catch up with) but also because, as much as I love the writing and the language of classics and that is often one of my favourite things about the book (I could read Wilde or Hesse for days on end, for example), I also recognise that, both in Italian and in English - which is not my mother tongue - it can be harder to understand, and when reading such beautiful writing I like to be in the right mindset to be able to truly appreciate it. University has been fairly intense this year and I haven’t found myself in that mindset, or felt like I had the mental capacity to read classics in the way I want to read them. It’s likely that when things calm down a little after exams are over I will pick a few up again, and I am very excited to do so!
I absolutely share your thought and definitely didn’t explain myself well, but I hope this made some kind of sense!

What's the name of the fountain pen you use?

@@untitled_paintings omg thank you so much! It looks so smooth to sketch with! Also I really love your artwork 🥺💙

[@untitled_paintings]

It’s an absolute pleasure to sketch with! It skips a little if you’re using very rough paper but otherwise it’s great 🥰 and thank you so much!!
