The month of May is proving to be very eventful for me despite the lack of updates in my blog (sorry about that)! I'm so glad that I have enough time to draw and paint these days, but things might change as I start a new project at work. I learned last week that my new team will be reporting to our Global One office starting May 15, which means I will be traveling daily from B.F. Paranaque to Eastwood and back again (eeeeep!). That's more or less 4 hours of my life spent in transit, so I'm looking at options for temporarily staying somewhere in Mandaluyong or Makati so that I can save some time crossing the south super highway to get to the office. The start of a project means more time for work and less time for life, but uncertainties aside, I'm really looking forward to this new endeavor and the other things that are lined up for me this month--a couple of weddings, a trek to Mt Pinatubo, and possibly, a 10km run!
I also just got back from Bohol with my family but my trip felt so bitin (short) even if we stayed there for 4 days and 3 nights. There were a bunch of hits and a couple of misses during the trip (*ahem*Cebu Pacific*ahem*), and I can't wait to post pictures and write about it!
But before I do my rant and rave about Bohol, here's an update of what I've been doing for my creativity show and tell this week:
The anti white space pattern!
This took me almost a day and a half to finish. I wanted to do a negative painting, but I didn't have any masking fluid so I did a rough sketch of the pattern first then outlined the white space. I covered the rest of the paper with paint, trying to overlap the colors. Unlike my usual take on color, I chose reds, violets and blues for this pattern so that blending would be easy, and the washes would somehow look seamless. The colors were a joy to blend using my Prang watercolor set, and I like how the painting turned out. What do you think?
It's another addition to my watercolor pattern series. Hope you like it!
