Where everything is handmade…
Last year, Daniel Smith released their very first half pan sets. I’ve seen reviews from Youtube already so imagine how excited I am when Ethel of DE’s Artroom mentioned that they’re bringing it in the Philippines too. And the exciting part was… they’ll do a tour from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao for the launch. Usually, …
Hello, friends. It’s July and that means it’s World Watercolor Month. Since I love watercolor, I will make this as a good excuse to join and be committed to it. If you’re not familiar with World Watercolor Month yet, you may simply check Doodlewash to know more about the details; see the daily prompts, and …
Hello there, my friend. How are you holding up? It’s a very difficult time for all of us, I know. Here in the Philippines, especially here in Davao City, it’s already been quiet for the past few days now. I’ve already lost count what day it is now since the community quarantine. It’s all good …
Hello there and hello July. It’s been a while since my last post about my painting process. Actually, it’s been a while since I posted anything. Even on my Instagram: @iam_artisan. I seldom post nowadays and mostly our faces. Although, I haven’t created anything either. Anyway, if you remember my 30-day Watercolor Challenge, where I …
Something I like about social media is they show you what you’ve posted on the same date years ago. Although, I am recently and subconsciously inactive or on a semi-social media break. But this reminded me how I enjoyed posting before. Yesterday, Instagram reminded me of the craft party I hosted 2 years ago for …
I’m adding another category here in my blog. I received few questions from friends and Instagram folks about which materials is best or how is it so far whenever I share what I normally used. Admittedly, I’m quite a hoarder. Something I’m not proud of, but I do have a lot of materials with me. …
November is quite special to me when it comes to creativity. Because this is when I started painting again after 6 months. All thanks to the Watercolor Art On The Road event that sparked my fire again. I was looking forward to that weekend. For one, my sister, nephew and Mama all left for Vancouver, days …
It’s been months!!! Almost half a year now, I believe. That I haven’t touched my watercolor materials. It’s embarrassing and sad actually. So when I found out that Philippine Guild of Watercolorists / International Watercolor Society Philippines (IWS), which I’m a member of (yihee!) will have an exhibition here in Davao, I got really excited. …
Hello lovelies! Here’s another watercolor painting process. The flower is called Anemone. I like this flower, although I haven’t seen a real one but the first time I encountered this flower was from my Paper Flower workshop. While I was learning what flowers to teach, I came across Anemone. Since then, I started to like …
Okay… I’m quite embarrassed about this but I’d rather be honest with you friends than make you believe I was really that good (I wish I am). If you remember few months back. Last July, to be exact (Wow! That’s more than 2 months ago now!) I started a 30-day Watercolor Challenge for myself. Unfortunately, …
Hello you lovelies! My body has been sleeping since July started. I seriously don’t understand. But I’m really trying my best to wake it up the soonest. Because… I’ll be having a workshop in Manila! Yep! It’s been a while. I had my first one last 2014. It was Paper Flower Workshop at Hey Kessy. …
If you’ve been following around, I’ve been posting about my painting process as I was (and still am, actually) doing a 30-day watercolor challenge for myself and I’m using a book as my reference. If you want to follow along or do the same thing, I’ve listed below the materials I used for the watercolour …
Hi lovelies! This month started out of rhythm. It’s the 3rd day of July now yet, I still cannot find my grove. I hope the second half of the year is treating you differently. In the meantime, I posted a new video painting process on my YouTube channel. To be honest, I didn’t expect this …
Where did June go? Seriously? I’m cramming like crazy in catching up with my 30-day Watercolour Challenge. Sometimes, I ask myself why I’m doing this again? LOL. Then my inner self will remind me that this is pushing me to become better in my skill. True enough. It’s easier for me to understand the value …
If you’ve seen my previous post, I’m doing a 30-day watercolor challenge for myself. I’m using the book Watercolor Flower Artist’s Bible by Clare Waite Brown as my reference; Daniel Smith Fine Watercolours and Escoda Brush. Nothing fancy or big canvasses. Just simply to hone my watercolour skill in painting flowers. I’m doing batches of 3 flowers …
