Artist's Comments

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. I thought about doing something to this with pastels but decided I wanted to keep it light and, well, fluffy.


*And by soon I mean before the Arts and Music Festival, which is already next week! By the way -- I'll be there, look for me! Booth 56! :D

Thanks so much! I'm very glad you liked the color, I don't do calligraphy like this very often so I'm still kind of experimenting. :)
