The afternoon sunlight poured through the high windows of the art room,
bathing my canvas in a warm glow that seemed to ignite the colours on
my palette. I paused, sucking on the end of my paintbrush as I studied the
shapes I’d sketched out in sienna. It was definitely starting to take shape
now and I could probably start adding some colour in the background. I
whirled the brush around in the beaker of turps, and blotted it on the rag set
there for that purpose. My eyes flicked over the colours on my palette for a
few moments, before I dipped my brush in, pulling three colours together to
get the shade I wanted.

I swiped my brush across the canvas, a streak of
pale blue with a touch of lilac interrupting the white space. Although there
were four other students in the art room, they were just as absorbed as me
and it was quiet except for the music in my earbuds, a perfect backdrop as I
worked. It might have only been a couple of weeks since I started at
Blackvellyn University, but the art room was quickly becoming my
favourite space.
After years of painting in my tiny bedroom at home, with
bad lighting and no space to spread out, the light airy art room was like a
balm to my soul and I was already spending every free minute I could in
here. It was nice not having anyone complain about the paint splatters on
my clothes either.
When my mother had told me I’d been accepted to the prestigious private
university of Blackvellyn on a full scholarship and onto the masters art
program, I’d been stunned. She always insisted on keeping me close to
home, and hadn’t let me apply for anything other than the local art college,
which had been lovely but had never pushed me.
My career choice had always been a bone of contention between us,
which was why I’d been shocked she’d sent off an application and my
portfolio to Blackvellyn. I wanted a career and she’d always thought I was
wasting my time and should be trying to find a rich husband, the thought of
which sent chills down my spine. I’d spent enough of my life being
controlled by someone who dictated where I went and what I wore.
When other students had been out partying or even just hanging out, I’d
been dragged around to salons and beauty pageants. I hadn’t even thought
they were a thing in the UK, but apparently they were and my mother was
obsessed with making me look and act like a proper lady. I always had to be
perfect.
We hadn’t had the money to send me to a “proper” school, but
she’d trained me herself, making sure my manners and speech were
impeccable for her tastes, and my grades had never been allowed to drop
below an A. Swimming, gym and yoga had been regimented, and although I
knew it kept me strong and healthy, I’d enjoyed slacking off since I’d got
here.
