Earlier last week, I got a notification on my Instagram: @iam_artisan that I was tagged in a photo by Sahin Designs. I wasn’t sure what it was because I didn’t get any emails yet (apparently, it went to my spam). I’ve been applying for a creative team since early this year since I was really …

Review: The Joy Of Watercolor By Emma Block
Here I am again with another review. With a book this time. I used to do this before and called it Wednesday Book Club. Since I have a lot of books, I thought, I’d share some of them in case someone is interested too. You may check the other books here: review. One of my …
Water Media Affair With Banana Paper Art Exhibition
Just like that… 2 years had past… Either I blog really slow (yes, that’s 1 part true) or time really flies so fast (which is also the other part true). Anyway, back when I was younger, I wanted to be a painter (I shared that journey when I took the Art Kamp). When I finally …
Journal With No.04: Coffee Date | Tips On Junk Journal
I’m starting a new journal notebook. My third volume. This time, I’m solely dedicating it to my little chubster. I’m not really into scrapbooking before but I get to learn and earn from digital scrapbooking. That’s when I started my creative studio, Artisan Paperie, which was called Tala-larawan (filipino term for photo) when I started. …
Watercolor Painting Process – Apple Blossom
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 …
Journal With Me No.03: Celebrate Love | Rubber Stamps
Hi friends. Yes, I’m still here… I haven’t been blogging, posting much on Instagram (except mostly our faces) nor playing with my craft materials or painting tools but I’m playing with something else… or a someone… a little human, that is! Yes, friends! That’s an ultrasound photo you’re seeing right there on my traveler’s notebook. …
Art Journal 01: Just Be You | Molding Paste
For the past few years, I have learned to divert my emotions into art. Every time I feel sad, anxious or anything with great emotion, I tend to spend time with my art journal instead. Somehow, playing with my art materials ease and quiet my mind, heart and soul. It was just recently, I realised …
Journal With Me No.02: Goals | Junk Journal
Journaling on my traveler’s notebook is my way of keeping memories. I’m already on my second traveler’s notebook but it’s just recently that I decided to film it and share my process. Then few months ago, a friend of mine, Cham, introduced me the Junk Journal Makers PH. A page on Facebook about using junk …
Journal With Me No.01: Family | Alcohol Based Markers
Hi everyone. It’s New Year’s Eve here in the Philippines. Everyone’s probably preparing for tonight. And I’m preparing a video instead of food, lol. Anyway, I’m missing my family today. So, I thought, this Journal With Me video is just timely. Long distance with family is really difficult. But as long as I think we’re …
Watercolor Painting Process – Anemone
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 …
Watercolor Painting Process – Hibiscus
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, …
Inktober 2017
Do you like joining monthly art challenges? Like, weekly, 30-day, 100-day or even a 1-year challenge. If you’re one of those who can truly commit to this, I salute you. That’s really brave of you. Because I seriously cannot commit to that. I tried, I really did. Remember 365 Doodle Project? I think I lasted …
Watercolor Painting Process: Petunia
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 …
Watercolor Painting Process: Gladioli
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 …
Watercolor Painting Process: Imperial Crown
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 …
