Excited to paint this! Havent painted in a while so still regaining my rhythm in the studio. Now waiting for the canvas to tell me what needs to come out. #wip #painting

Stretching new paper for another round of crumpled paper paintings in watercolor. This weekend has been all about ground preparation. Important life lesson being drilled into me: be mindful of prep work and foundation-building. Do it right; no shortcuts

Was so excited to see my first primed and stretched canvas today -- but was greeted by... undulations! Bakeeeeet may bubbles?? Uulitin ko ba to? Oo. Huhuhu. #backtostretching #canvas #preparation

I've been warned about the pains of stretching before, but it wasn't until I had to stretch more than one canvas in one go that I felt it: getting those staples in needed extra strength-- which I could barely manage at 12mn, after all the sawing and sandi

Woke up today with sore muscles -- then I remembered my 8-hour carpentry mis-adventure yesterday! Of all the things not to get right, it was the hammering that did me in. Look at all those bent nails! All my teachers say that if we're to learn to be artis

So excited to make my own prints! Thanks for the demo, Sir Rey Concepcion. #screenprinting #masking #positive #negative #yellow #red #blue

Saw a miter saw in action for the first time yesterday--so amazing what the right tool can do. We sawed this 2x1 kiln-dried wood to make a 12x16 frame for printmaking class. Took less than 5 minutes to do mine! #carpentry #wood #frame #preparation #45d

I've been struggling with watercolors for three weeks now -- I just can't seem to "get" the nature of the medium. Today we graduated from crumpled paper exercises (we've done 60 versions of them already!), to stone subjects. We were asked to find a stone

Passion painting these passion flowers. I haven't painted flowers in a while and now feeling extra pressure to make them bloom out of the canvas. Today's overcast sky is not helping. Reminding myself to just enjoy enjoy enjoy. :) #workinprogress #oil #p

Passion flower bouquet fresh from my garden this morning! Never smelled their sweet fragrance before. Amoy baby powder ni lola. Hehe. What a way to greet the first day of midyear break (and yes, mercury is out of retrograde too!). So many things to be th

Doing stencils in film for my first ever edition prints. Plan is to translate one of my favorite paintings onto fine art print (aka serigraph) using the direct stencil method of screenprinting. Doing this in four colors; target is to create 5 editions. Fi
manilarat:
Here's the intended output (top) in four colors/layers: purple gray, yellow, brown and black. Each color will be screenprinted one at a time, so I'll have to make four screens, each with its own stencil film. #serigraph #screenprinting #stencil #film #

First attempt at screenprinting using the direct stencil method with film. Used 4 screens to get the 4 colors. Have registration and bleeding issues because of paint consistency, and my raindrops got covered up! :( Have to iron out the kinks for the next

Ready for Painting Day at the Art Room! We made such a happy mess here today, just the way painting should be. To more messy art days ahead. 🎨 🙌 #art #kids #painting #TheSchoolRoom #ortigas #preschool

The studio is a mess -- need to clean it out asap, which means clearing out old works. If you're interested to buy montaluts, let me know! People say student/early works become the most sought after pieces once an artist breaks through..;)) I just need to
