When I started making my own website, I taught that it is a tool in raising  fund for our foundation, the Anak- Pawis Artists  foundation that is founded for the youth and for those aspiring artists.  Sponsors may came from different countries who has really a heart for art,  indeed in just a few days of our campaign many had donated.  I just can’t imagine the quick response from visitors of my website, their generosity and their trust in our foundation.  They truly believe that it is really for a good cost.  For those who donated, I know that what they have shared with us will just bounce back and even doubles it.  So for those who already donated and gave their support, we really thank you from the bottom of our hearts .. May God bless you even more guys!

Because of your support, our group is planning to held another art workshop on this coming December 2009, with the theme ” Building the Future Artists” and this can be made possible with your generous help.

We the Anak- Pawis Artists group organized a foundation for the young artists to help them enhance their talent in arts especially those who are indigent.  We did several Art Workshops before where in youth are the main participants, they shown their interests and willingness in learning about art, that’s why we decided to continue what we have started, to educate more youth in relation to Arts.  The reason why we launch a campaign is to ask for your help inform of a donation.  It can be inform of cash or any art materials that can be use in our advocacy because our group fund is not enough to provide all the things needed for an Art Workshop.

As we continue this project together with you as our sponsor, we are aiming to create a competitive artist that someday who knows can be a great Artist.

So guys, we are asking for your generosity… A little amount is a big help.  Please support the Anak Pawis Artist foundation.  Thank you for your donations.

I used to ride a big bike during my youth days,  so I decided to make a charcoal drawing like this one  as my mere memento.  I did this to show as a sample drawing to my students,  to serve as  their  inspiration for them to make a drawing just like this.  Being a good teacher, it must be done in action not only in words so that your students will believe in you.  To show a drawing like this,  they will be inspired to do  charcoal drawings that requires a lot of hard-work and patience because this drawing is within the field of realism.  Doing a realistic drawing is not easy, you should catch all the details especially the shade and shadow.

I’m glad that many appreciated my drawing and  they were happy because of the craftsmanship.  I taught my students to do their artworks with a lot of  patience for them to bring out the true beauty of their work.  All of my hardwork and perseverance in teaching and sharing to my students all about drawing are all worth it because they learned and apply those learning in their artworks, for me  it’s a great achievement!

If you want to learn more about charcoal drawing just comment on this page.

A romantic scene.  Feel free to express your love while riding your bike.

From shade, shadow and the color tones came a well executed charcoal painting.  This charcoal painting was made by my student before ( Ernesto Suga Jr. )  and now became my buddy and ” kumpadre “.  Even though he’s now in other field, I know that there’s still spirit of art left on his heart.  Because an artist is always an artist.
