Artists got to explore different styles in creating landscape, seascape, still life, and portrait paintings
The Sunshine Place, a senior recreation center under the Felicidad Tan Sy Foundation, recently showcased the works of its students in a show titled “Flow.” The center offers classes to seniors, adults, as well as to teens and kids.
Mentoring sessions in hands-on techniques, application of different brushes and basic strokes, and color rendering, are at the cored of the workshops offered by the center. Participants get to explore different styles in creating landscape, seascape, still life, and portrait paintings.
The exhibit highlights "the beauty of accepting grace in starting over, peace in pausing, and growth in going with the flow," according to the exhibit organizers. The show also marks the fifth year of The Sunshine Place’s "Coloring Lives" initiatives for its members.
The exhibit brings together the works of 30 artists in four of the Sunshine Place’s art classes. These include works from the acrylic and oil painting classes of Art Association of the Philippines President Fidel Sarmiento, Ikebana Sogetsu arrangements with Marc Tomas, and the porcelain painting class of Mee Lee Casey, a Malaysian expat wife, who has been teaching Porcelain Painting in UK, Hong Kong, and Australia for more than 20 years.
The exhibit is ongoing and lasts until Nov. 15, 2022. All-in-all, the show features 86 artworks in acrylic, oil, porcelain, and Ikebana-Sogetsu pieces. Apart from featuring the artworks of its students, "Flow" also showcased the talents of new young artists Isla Le Brun, Maria Helena Bernardo, Rafael Tomas Tanglao, Stephen Rey Destura, and Amanda Atayde.
The Flow exhibit will also be available for viewing in Sunshine Place and online. Proceeds from the exhibit will be given to the Kanlungan Ni Maria Home for the Aged.
