Here is the last sketch I did with Instituto Cervantes de Manila on 10th March. This church was completed in 1607, during the Spanish colonial period, and is the oldest stone church in the Philippines. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sadly I couldn’t go in because a wedding was going on. The car parking attendants (who were hanging out where I sat and sketched) also told me that I would have to get special permission to sketch inside. This one is done in a newly made sketchbook which uses Claire Fontaine Goldline 300gsm paper, which I bought at #ArtCaravan. It’s taking me a while to get used to it, because it’s not hot press, like I usually use.
