Back from Summer School, St Petersburg


Completion of the Summer School programme at the Saint Petersburg State Academic Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I.E. Repin, St Petersburg, Russia. My works are on the easel, second from left: 3 paintings and 2 drawings. I feel it wouldn't be polite to post other photos without getting permission first.. but I am very thankful to the professors (Professors V. Mogilevtsev, N. Blokhin and M. Molyakov) and fellow students, both from the Summer School and the full-time programmes for giving me their generous help and guidance, in art and everything else. I felt overwhelmed with sadness on my last day in Russia.

I took this course from 1 June 2015 - 26 June 2015. There were 3 guided tours on weekends, to the Hermitage, Russian Museum and Petergof (I skipped Russian Museum tour because I was ill, but caught up with it on my own. Petergof I skipped because I dislike fountains).

I lived at the Academy's mini hotel, which is a really nice place located conveniently close to the Academy and other shops where you could get your groceries and other stuff. I will post more pictures if I have the time to sort them out. As a matter of fact, I probably need to sort out my head too.
