My right hand has been experiencing fatigue the past few days. I get that involuntary twitching when I’m not doing anything. This was probably triggered by my sudden return to practicing calligraphy last weekend. 🙁 That, or I probably have arthritis! Haha, how sad. Anyway, since I can’t draw for now as I need to rest […]
RELAUNCHED: Capachitos de Colores on Youtube!
Finally! Caro gave in to some followers’ requests for her to post videos about her artwork and routines. 🙂 She relaunched her official Youtube channel yesterday! What’s great is that the videos are English-subtitled. 🙂 WATCH yesterday’s welcome video below: Hope she includes videos of her song covers (You should hear her sing!!!) soon. 🙂
DOWNLOAD: Telegram Messenger’s Capachitos Sticker Set
We all know how emoticons and messaging stickers aid in expressing a lot of our emotions. In fact, there are times we find ourselves speechless in conversations that we just click and send a sticker as a reply. Personally, I use a sticker when I have nothing else to say like when I just don’t […]
Watercolor Class Seatwork: FLOWERS
So happy that we finally reached my most awaited part of the class – painting flowers! I’ve been looking forward to doing this since day 1. I know I still have a lot of painting practice to do (plus I need to have better water and brush control!), but it gives me so much joy to […]
K’s Mindful Chocolate Meditation
While cleaning my inbox earlier, I suddenly unearthed this year-old Illustrator exercise I did. 🙂 You may download the following pdf.
Valerie Chua’s Watercolor Class
Influenced by the growing art community here in the Philippines, particularly in Manila, I took several workshops this year on calligraphy and watercolor. My best experience to date is my 6-session watercolor class under Valerie Chua (She’s @valeriechuaart on Instagram). It’s sad that my batch will have our last two sessions with her next week but I’m […]

Caro’s Designs Receive Honorable Mentions at Starbucks Chile’s Cup Design Contest!
I know she’s too humble to talk about her latest win at the Concurso de Vasos Starbucks (did I get that right, guys?). As a matter of fact, she downplays being part of the 30 honorable mentions and I could sense her shyness when I congratulated her. With so many entriessss for Starbucks Chile to […]
Avocado…The Filipino (Asian) Way!
This post was inspired by Caro‘s previously posted avocado recipe. During one of my Whatsapp conversations with her and her husband Renato, they were surprised to find out I eat avocado for dessert (and it’s actually one of my favoritessss!). While avocado is also used in salads and savory dishes here in the Philippines, it’s […]
Drawing Mimi of Capachitos (by Kate)
It’s my turn to recreate Mimi, my fellow distance-doodler Carolina’s original cartoon character. 🙂 Haha, I think I unconsciously made the head bigger just like my character K’s. (Sorry, Caro!) Unlike my dear friend, I’m still not used to watercolor. Haha. And I haven’t really invested in a good set. The ones I have are […]
