Inside Paoay Ruins

Paoay will always be on the list of my most visited place for my sketches here in Ilocos Norte. been visiting the place for a couple of times but yesterday marks my first time to step inside the Paoay Ruins, which is a usual venue of their Tumba Festival during November.

Few snaps after sketching inside the classic, now refurbished Paoay Ruins.

As per the tour guide, the places was an old convent during the Spanish time.

Before leaving, here's a special view outside the historical ruins which is located beside the San Agustin Church at Paoay. A must visit place when you go here in the North.

    "View Outside The Studio"

Pen and Ink, 2016

First of all, I would say I was too slack in updating our group blog for the past few months and it's been ages since I was able to post my previous sketches. Moving on, sharing a sketch I have made a year ago, here's a view outside my studio while I am at home here in Laoag. The setting is already in twilight, as it is already 6 PM. I'll be probably doing more sketches like these.

Tuguegarao Sakbay Cagayan (An Unexpected Visit at Tuguegarao City)

it was about 8am when I sketched these series of commercial spaces along the highway near the terminal of PUVs going to Flora, Aparri & Ballesteros etc at Tanza, Tuguegarao City. despite the unexpected miscommunications, im still happy to be able to see and sketch a small portion of Tuguegarao on a twilight scene.

Maysa nga malem, malpas iti pinagubra, nasangok pimmasyar sentro tapnu mai-drawing ko iti mesa nga lugar nga kanayun ko malabasan lalo nu damom nga umay iti siyudad iti Laoag. Nu daduma, madim maiwasan nga umay naka buyaen iti aglabas nga tao lalo nu makita da ka nga nakatambay nga madama iti patugaw na, madamat sketch, wennu nakaiggem iti naingpis nga papel, pinta ken brush, ngato baba iti ulo na. Kas mesa nga naipa puswan nga Urban Sketcher, detuy iti kanayon ko nga mapadasan lalo nu madama nak ag-drawing iti sab-sabali nga lugar.

One afternoon, after my work, I went to take a stroll into the heart of the city to draw this place I used to pass by esp if you are going to Laoag City Often times, you cant avoid people to see/watch you most esp. when you are sitting in a corner, sketching, or holding a thin piece of paper, paint and brush. As one of the dedicated Urban Sketcher, this is always the kind of experience i go through in sketching different places.
