Currently majority of The Philippines is in enhanced quarantine lockdown due to the current COVID-19 situation, this means people are not allowed to go out unless they have to do something a matter of life and death, or for a quick grocery run.

With the abundance of time thanks to the absence of traffic congestion, since most people are currently on work-from-home mode, what better way to spend this wealth of time than

| WATACOLA |
Usually what happens is whenever I see some really cool drawing, or any outfit that tickles mi fancy, I always develop that urge, where I find myself thinking, "hey, I can create a look with that kind of outfit, but with a different bag or accessories." Then after finalizing that 'vision' I will now proceed in sketching, then erasing some unnecessary lines,and finally playing with watercolor. However for the past months, it seems like I have gotten into an artist's version of writer's block, where I would try and draw something, but feel lazy to continue coloring it with the same gusto I had when I was sketching it.
It also dawn on me that this look I created on my artwork is very Japanese street style, something that I have observed while I was in Tokyo last month.
And to further amp up the Japanese 'feelz' I used my metallic pastel Kissho palette for adding some shine particularly to her bag, and bangle. This palette has been with me for almost 2 years already, something I bought off Yamamoto Bumpodo in Tenjin, Fukuoka August of 2018, and so far I still don't see my brush hitting the pan 👍 I should probably do a quick review on this one of these days ♡
And of course, who would forget my trusty The Classics Prima Watercolor Palette? Now, this one is not made in Japan, but it's equally at par with Japanese quality 👌 Just being reminded of the hassle I had to go through to acquire this set made me want to abuse this palette even more hahaha! I used this primarily for the skin and hair color of my artwork.
And now, some zoom in on the details:

I must say I am very lucky that my only problem right now is that I can't go out because of this lockdown, while there are still people who risk their lives to work, most of them in the industries of food (e.g. people in groceries, and factories), BPO (e.g. call centers), and of course, medical. Aside from that, there are also those who don't have enough means to secure enough food supply during this really tough time.
With this, I'll be doing a project to further urge everyone to help out in their own ways, while also being able to enjoy my '
