Painting the town

Today, while in transit to a meeting and headed home, I noticed something similar in 2 different places.

This was along EDSA.

This was at Araneta Coliseum.

Guess people are painting the town these days.

Printed Matter: Just Add Water-color

Watercolour was my favourite medium for painting as a kid. That's why it's no surprise that I have an affinity for watercolour prints.

Especially floral ones, like this one.

The hues are vibrant and the florals are very delicate and pretty.

No surprise that this print belongs to an equally delicate and pretty dress with a shift silhouette and puffed sleeves.

So much prettiness in a piece of clothing!

On the Gogh

Since there aren't good movies in the cinema, Mark and I decided to do channel our artistic talents somewhere else.

To Sip and Gogh, in particular.

We hied off to their Kapitolyo branch and decided to become painterly that afternoon. At Sip and Gogh, you can choose which painting you wish to copy, and we both decided to do "Starry, Starry Night," an iconic Vincent Van Gogh painting.

It was a fun, relaxing and therapeutic process. Mixing the colors, sipping drinks, letting the brush fly on the canvas, eating canapes - these disparate activities all came together seamlessly.

And by the end of the 2+ hour session, Mark and I had our masterpieces!

We're definitely doing this again!
