My Tradeschool Experience

Did my first workshop for Tradeschool Manila yesterday!
I taught basic watercolor workshop for beginners. This was a 2 hour workshop at Commune in Makati. The participants are all lovely females the age group and their backgrounds vary, from a student, physicist mom to an oceanographer! (yes we are a weird bunch! And I mean this in a good way.)

Here I am talking about the watercolor materials, the brushes and how to use them, the techniques lifting, washes etc. And after that I did a demo and then they did the application.

I hope learned something and had fun. Hope to see them at 98B selling their awesome artworks! :)

And finally the barter items I got are the ff: blog posts (I will have to wait for this one), watercolor papers, a book, and the super cool signed print (This signed print is so unexpected will post a separate story for this!).

Thr tradeschool experience was a blast. I met awesome and passionate people who are eager to learn.
Special thanks goes to my cousin Mita for pushing me to join and teach. To the dedicated volunteers Hara & Clarice thanks for the help!
I would certainly do it again. (I just hope my schedule agrees with me.)
