Art of the week: Rawr! Tiger+Gourmet's Refresher Resto

arts

As you notice I'm practicing animals drawing for the past few weeks.. I often draw them, thinking that it's hard or it will look animated. Another animal I chose is tiger..

it took me 2 days to decide whether to use pencil color or oil pastel

I used oil pastel instead..

it turns out well, I never thought I could get the color of the tiger, I experimented the browns, oranges and yellows

not bad ei?

Gourmet's Refresher

My cousin search for a place to eat near Tagaytay and found this site.. Located at Km. 52 Aguinaldo Highway, Lalaan II, Silang, Cavite. The place is not hard to find since it's along highway and there's a huge sign oustide..

We had a tour first of the farm, planted are different types of herbs, lettuce, tomato, etc.

Called:Celebration by Sharon-collection of herbs named after the Mega Star Sharon Cuneta

Lettuce!

Refreshers resto

Pizza Chef-550

Signature Lemonade-85 this is one of the best lemonade I've tasted, very fresh!

salad side dish for Pasta

Puttanesca - 320

They have a store inside the resto, they sell tea, coffee, fruits, veggies, pasta sauce, salad dressing, etc.

Healthy cookies made from veggies

huge tomato!

veggies area

Pinoy kind of Tea!

Dressings

of course what's a delicious lunch without a dessert! O my yogurt at SM Dasma, a self service yogurt station

I got strawberry-kiwi-vanilla flavored yogurt topped with kiwi, blueberry, cashew and almonds!

This one is not included on Refreshers post, I just want to share my second experience on Durian, I never really like the first time I ate it.. the smell was awful and it stayed on my stomach for a while, but this one is different maybe because the fruit is still inside the shell. It doesn't smell as pungent and it tastes like milk..

Sunset greet us when going home, what a nice way to end my short vacation..

Thanks Cuz.. love you!

Art of the week:Reunited with my Oil Pastel

arts

It's been couple of years since I last used oil pastel as medium, the last time was when we had workshop sponsored by my former company held at Ayala Museum. Here's the article from my old blog.

this is my work

BPO Education
Advanced Still Life Drawing Workshop

The talented and creative Widmarth "Wed" Lodriga of Philippine Art Educators Association, Kalipunan Pasig Artists Guild, and Makiling Ensemble percussionist facilitated the successful run of the BPO education's advanced still life drawing workshop last June 14, 2008 at the Ayala Museum.

The participants developed their basic skills in rendering depth in composition, structural drawing, tonal value and achieve a likeness of still life through organization of contours, proportions and planes.

A starter kit consisting of a sketch pad, pencil and pastel crayons paved the way in letting the creative juices of the participants flow. The hands-on workshop equipped the participants with the basic knowledge in shading, sketching and color blending which they later applied on a still life painting of fruits.

Participants shared the things they learned by giving constructive criticisms and exchanging views on how they appreciate each other’s art.

The afternoon ended with each participant gaining new found knowledge about still life and art appreciation.

Fastforward year 2011, here's what I made..

In peacock’s world male display their iridescent feathers for prospective female mates, for humans females need it too! I wonder will it be more effective if females have this kind of asset to attract males? haha just my imaginary thoughts!

pastels I use-pentel and cray-pas

camera phone lighting intensifies the colors

arts

I find it difficult to draw animals.. I could only draw a pig before by following the rhyme, small circle small circle big circle, my mommy my daddy i love you! familiar? So with a brave heart and a book of animals I face my fear and go on..

Medium: pencil color

success or fail? at least it didn't look cartoon

camera phone changes the color..
