Watercolors, acrylics, gouache, watercolor pencils, ink—any medium that requires interacting with water was acceptable at the recent plein air painting contest, “Pine and Bamboo, Bamboo and Pine,” at the beautiful Pinsao Ecological Sanctuary in Pinsao Proper, Baguio City. (Go to Tam-awan Arts Village and book a walking trip through giant bamboo and pine groves with an eco guide.)
Coming up is an exhibition of the prize-winning works together with the latest explorations of water media on paper by the hard-working, women-dominated Baguio Aquarelle Society.
The exhibition component of “Pine and Bamboo, Bamboo and Pine” opens on March 6 at the Baguio-Mountain Province Museum on Gov. Pack Road, Baguio City at 4 p.m.
Thank you to our sponsors: Philex Mining, Benguet Electric Cooperative, Smart Telecom, Claudine M. Fernandez, Joseph Server Jr.is, Des and Auring Bautista, Joy Buensalido, and Sizzling Plate’s Edna and Mike Anton.
My personal favorite among the entries is ex-schoolmate Kitzel Cotiw-an’s acrylic on canvas. Somehow I was reminded of Kandinsky before he turned fully abstract. There is music in those faces and bamboo halves.
