It's so wonderful to be back here in the Emerald City, Seattle! With the cool breeze, this is a welcome change from the very humid weather back in the Philippines. Tomorrow will be the 25th anniversary celebration of Pagdiriwang Festival at the Seattle Center. I'm privileged to be a part of this group as they enthusiastically promote and spread the cultural goodwill of the Filipino people through dance, music, arts, film and various performances. I also had a blast curating the group art exhibit at the Harrison Street Gallery of which I'm also a part of. It's a rewarding experience to be with fellow kababayans who're proud of their heritage. Kudos to all the groups who -with glamour and pride- continue to educate and promote all that is good of us Filipinos.
Regards,
Grandier

I have been enjoying my time sketching with the FilPortrait group. For every whole sheet of Canson paper, I look forward to the challenge of capturing the sitter's likeness. The model is normally instructed to do one single pose for about 3 hours, in-between 30-minute shifts.
The general comment I get is that my sketches are almost "finished" in quality, and looks more like a completed pastel work. This is because of my training in producing pastel works without showing the strokes. Because this is on-the-spot, the rawness and immediacy of the situation is a welcome change for me, and so far, I do like the results. Presented here are some of my recent sketches.
Happy sketching,
Grandier
