Oton, Iloilo - kpresmei | Watercolor | 2022

I was on a road trip with my family when I took the reference photo for this painting. Whenever I look at this artwork, I remember how my mom thought the migrating herons standing on the fields were "just really tall ducks"- and the laughter my dad and I could not contain afterwards.

Even landscapes have a piece of humanity in every stroke.

Iloilo Riverside Esplanade - 2022 (Watercolor) by kpresmei

I've always enjoyed morning walks alongside the riverside in my city. This is one of the many series of postcard watercolor paintings I will be posting in the upcoming days. I figured this blog, while empty as of this writing, ought to start somewhere.

I couldn't think of a more perfect way to begin this creative blog than sharing my take on a sunrise above mangroves, and the brackish burbling river.
