Adulthood

He had to move back home with his parents at 27 when things didn't work out too well. He had stopped taking classes at Brussels. Then he started to train himself to draw and what do you know he was pretty good at it. He started drawing in perspective and he drew a lot of peasants. For what reason I don't know. He accumulated skills in drawing, sketching, shading, and he grew fond in anatomy. He left his house again to acquire lessons from Anton mauve.
