“We met a lot of friends there. And the artists, they’re very friendly and very approachable. We are so comfortable there,” she said.

According to Bacarisas that her favorite part about the whole workshop is everything about it, from the combining of colors, the lessons about how one should draw the parts o the face and to the point that they allowed us to actually try painting.

The workshop consists of basic techniques of drawing and painting.

“Lines, basic, composition, shading, proportion, basic color mixing, and techniques. Then, Basic stenciling and silkscreen printing technique” said Wyndelle Remonde, one of the artists from Asylum De Busay.

In the short span of time that they have spent with each other, Asylum De Busay surely touched the hearts of the children in their barangay in Busay.

This is Asylum De Busay’s way of paying it forward to the people in their community in educating and enhancing the talents of these kids.
