That Painting Lesson

I always look forward to art lessons on Sunday. I mean, I don't see why anyone wouldn't. You learn much better ways to draw than what we do at school and then you get to make use of those secrets on whatever you want! Your imagination is the limit! But then, there's also all the other children to play and combine your imaginations with, meaning you even don't have to be limited to just your own imagination!

Anyways, whenever I tried to slowly peak at the boy across the room who wouldn't share his imagination, he always seemed to be very still and concentrated on his painting.

I mean, there were mirrors on the walls behind him and behind me, so I thought I should be able to see his page just like I was able to see everyone else's even if their board was facing the other way. Then, I was kind of getting a bit distracted with what that boy was doing that I rushed to finish my painting without using those slow and careful brush strokes, so that I could see more of what he was doing. When I looked over after finishing my painting, I saw that...
