Watercolor and ink. Calligraphy is alibata (the native alphabet of the Philippines), written from bottom to top. It says "O Pagsinta" -- "O Love" or "O Adoration." I've been working on a stanza from Balagtas's Florante at Laura for a while, so the phrase stuck.
Edit: Okay, better scan this time. Final version -- I went over the background a bit, fixed some things.
Very interesting experiment -- I'll probably do this again soon*, this time with better ink (!!! need non-bleedy calligraphy ink so badly orz), better paper, better watercolors (SO EXPENSIVE OTL), and maybe adding a touch or two of pastels.
