How often does Sarah paint now?

Woman: Well, good evening everyone. I’ve come along to talk to you about my painting. It was just a hobby but it’s really more than that now. I used to paint in the evenings after work, but now I work four days a week instead of five. That means I spend Friday, Saturday and Sunday on my painting. I have pictures in local exhibitions at least once a month.
   I’d love to give up my job and spend all my time painting, but I work with computers and I earn more that way! I do make some money from selling my pictures, enough to pay for all my paint, brushes and paper and a few art lessons. I’d love to go to art college full-time for three years, but I’ve got all the rent on my fiat to pay and a car to run.
   I first became interested in art when I was at primary school. I used to go out with some paper and a few pencils during break time and draw anything I
saw: houses, gardens, people. Then at secondary school we had art classes twice a week, and I learnt how to use chalk and then different kinds of paint: water colours, oils and so on.
   Those classes were really useful for me, and ever since then I’ve had lessons of some kind. I’ve attended evening classes and been on what they call painting ’holidays’, where you go out into the countryside and paint during the day and then sit and discuss your work with a teacher and the other artists after dinner. Those holidays are great; you learn so much talking to other people studying with you.
   I’ve enjoyed painting in lots of different countries. I’ve been to Morocco and painted desert scenes with beautiful sunrises. I’ve been to Greece and Spain and painted pictures of the local people working in the fields near their homes. My favourite place is still Scotland. I love walking in the Scottish mountains, and there are so many different birds to see, especially in spring.
   Well, I’m going to finish now by showing you a video of the places I’ve visited. After that there’ll be a chance to relax with a cup of coffee and then there’ll be time for some questions. Oh, and I’ve got some information about my next art exhibition for you. It’s going to be at the Queen’s Gallery. Now, if someone would turn off the lights ...
