Chapter 1
The hero of our story is Ivan koch
A 23 yrs old,lanky young man now sitting on a cheap cafe sipping his usual midday black coffee.
He graduated from art College 2 yrs ago, and built a studio in his shabby small apartment.
At this moment his attention is solely focused on a flyer of "Art exhibition" which is gonna held on next month. His eyes are twinkling in excitement.
The main attraction of this exhibition is anyone can send their piece of art of any varieties. It was kind of open competition, the first prize contains a huge amount of money and obviously public recognition.
Ivan always dreamt of arrange an exhibition of his art work to show the world . But a poor,introvert,orphan like him who has no background is hardly get this kind of opportunity or sponsor to show his talent to the world.
He is an avid fan of realistic art.his favourite is water color
The things Ivan koch absolutely hate is modern days abstract paintings.
You can call him backdated, stubborn or anything! But he won't agree with you at any cost. He always brooded over the ridiculous ways of painting which other people call surrealism or abstract or whatever bogus they always sprout!
He never understand how could some disfigured scratch in paper or blotch of color in a paper makes any sense!
He always try to give life to his canvas. The eyes on his canvas is contained so much emotions, the nature is lovely and colorful, the sky is different shade of colors! It is what he called art, real and clear.
He decided to draw something poetic,that would speak a story of its own.
Tap...tap...tap....
His skinny index finger tapping on his chin continuously.
A Sudden idea strucked on his head! He just finished "Macbeth" recently. The character lady Macbeth is still engraved in his memory.
Oh he got an idea! It will be lady Macbeth walking while sleeping,how he imagined her in his head when he was reading the play.
Paying the bill, ivan bolted to his studio apartment. After entering the room he sighed! If only he has enough money to provide a proper spacious Studio!
The next day he started his project. He was perfect in water color. He will draw it in water color. He decided to name it ‘dreamer’.
he has never been so much enthusiastic about drawing in a year . By mixing different shade of color on a separate piece of paper he was pondering which shade will be suitable for his picture. After the matter of color was fixed, he started his real work. He has no doubt that this will be one of his best paintings.
It took a total of ten days to complete . the shabby and small room that he used as his studio was now brimmed with his enthusiastic humming. He did not leave the house for a single time after starting. This is the first time he has poured his heart out into a drawing . The patience and perseverance with which he drew this picture is a little unusual for a man of such a loose and untidy nature.
