Model Answer 1:
Painting is my hobby and I love to paint different things especially the 
landscapes, blue skies, the views of the city etc. I wish someday I will arrange 
for a painting exhibition in Paris, my beloved land. 
I am a painter, not by profession rather it is my passion to paint. I paint out my 
imagination. I love it, much. It is also beneficial for me from several aspects 
and makes me free of mental worries. It is like a healing process to me when I 
am concerned. It is the way to communicate with my inner self. The painting 
expresses what I feel or imagine inside. In fact, I developed the habit when I 
was in troubles related with my profession and got mentally upset. A friend of 
mine suggested me to exercise my hobby and I started painting as it was my 
childhood hobby. Then gradually I started feeling comfort and a sense of relief 
from the agonies. Painting helps me to express my capabilities and reduces my 
nervousness and emotional imbalance.

There are no specific places for me to paint but my residence is the best place 
for my painting. The house I live in is a bit distant from the city crowd and 
located beside the Seine River. So, the river view is clear from my window and 
being a commercial gateway, the River is always found busy. So, I have placed 
a painting board on the balcony to get an outstanding river view from there. 
Besides, I have another portico on the south of my bedroom which allows me 
to have a beautiful view of the Paris city. Thereby, it is not a problem for me to 
get painting views. Again, sometimes I take the board inside my bedroom and 
paint after my imagination when I do not want to draw any external view. 
There are no specific time limitations for me to paint. I usually paint whenever 
I want it. It has happened that I have started painting at 3.00am and finished it 
by 5.00am. The painting actually depends on my mood. I have spent hours with 
the brush on my one hand and the colour plate on the other hand and 
pondered what to paint. But if I seriously count the hours, it would be around 
20 – 25 hours on average in a week. I want to spend more time with painting 
but cannot manage the required hours for my professional engagement. In the 
weekday, I spent the entire day in painting. I usually do not complete a 
painting in a day rather take at least a week to complete the entire painting. 
Sometimes I make a draft sketch on a paper and then get the idea to paint the 
entire image. 
Paris is the city bustling with life. This is a historical city. Crowds are 
everywhere and visitors around the globe come to visit the city for its splendid 
beauty and especially to observe the Eiffel Tower. So, there are fewer spaces in 
the city to paint and even at night times, there are lots of crowds prevail on the 
streets. Earlier, I have tried to paint outside of the home but the attempts 
turned failure. Crowds gather to see what I was painting which was highly 
irritating for me and I could not concentrate on the work. So, I gave up the idea 
to paint outside of the home. Besides, when I am at home, I have the chance to 
think deeply about the theme which is not possible in outside. When I open 
the window, I have great views ahead of me to draw on the paper. At the 
home, I draw lines after my will and sometimes link the lines with the outer 
elements to make something special on the paper.
