Here are the sketches I did with Urban Sketchers Quezon City on third part of the “Banaag: Sketching Heritage from Revolution to Republic” tour. “Banaag” means a soft ray of light, radiance, hope or enlightenment…we could do with a bit of that these days. The first part I joined was in Taal (see sketches 115–3400, 3401 and 3402-3) in February. For this part we started off by going to the “Monumento ni Andres Bonifacio”…which we couldn’t get into! That didn’t stop us though and we all sketched on the narrow pavement, looking through the railings.

After that we went to the the Tandang Sora National Shrine, a national monument dedicated to Filipino revolutionary and centenarian, Melchora Aquino (also known as “Tandang Sora”). I’ve sketched there several times before (see sketches 82-2572, 2573 and 2574) so tried a couple of different viewpoints this time.
