00:17:18Ah, pinaka-challenging dyan,
00:17:20of course,
00:17:21kaning bags, no?
00:17:22Mmm.
00:17:23Okay.
00:17:24We talk about,
00:17:25ah, sa canvas man good,
00:17:26sa oil paint,
00:17:27so canvas,
00:17:28ang textured niya.
00:17:31Then,
00:17:32kung sa charcoal po,
00:17:34kung ano siya,
00:17:35flat na surface,
00:17:36then,
00:17:37smooth na siya.
00:17:38Pero, as kung mag-
00:17:39bayong ka,
00:17:40or bags,
00:17:41kanisyo,
00:17:42ang texture niya,
00:17:43grabe kayo,
00:17:44uneven siya,
00:17:45uneven ang texture niya.
00:17:47So, lisod siya.
00:17:48Then,
00:17:49aside anak po is,
00:17:50kung ano siya,
00:17:51kung ano siya,
00:17:52pang outdoor,
00:17:53okay,
00:17:54handy mo siya,
00:17:55pwede siya sa gawa.
00:17:56So,
00:17:57dapat,
00:17:58ang paint,
00:17:59is dali-dali,
00:18:00madakot.
00:18:01Mmm.
00:18:02So,
00:18:03kung ang acrylic,
00:18:04or did niya siya,
00:18:05or wala yung paint na specific for this material,
00:18:07no?
00:18:08Acrylic or did niya?
00:18:09Yes.
00:18:10So, sa kuwa lang,
00:18:11based upon ako sa akong experience,
00:18:12as an artist,
00:18:13I think,
00:18:14acrylic raman pwede kayo.
00:18:15Kung oil painting man good,
00:18:16so, dugay kayo mo dry ang oil paint.
00:18:18Mmm.
00:18:19So,
00:18:20murag dili siya,
00:18:21mas better.
00:18:22Pero, kung ang oil,
00:18:23madugay yan,
00:18:24ma-aubot dinag,
00:18:26month,
00:18:27no?
00:18:28Pugay.
00:18:29Pugay because of oil.
00:18:30Pero,
00:18:31na'y mga i-mix na,
00:18:32nga,
00:18:33para mag,
00:18:34ma-dali pa saan mo dry pero,
00:18:35I think,
00:18:36wala pa ako ka tryong oil,
00:18:37eh,
00:18:38acrylic rami yun.
00:18:39then you can stand through rain yes grabbing a kainit no na makakuan
00:18:46ginsya na amazed jud said kako apart from bags of course na amazed put kako
00:18:50sa charcoal because paramagod na ko um listen jud kayo ni mag paint on
00:18:56portrait kay gamay lang lapas sa lapis malipat na ka guys gamay lang
00:19:02pormas ilong na di maayo mahiwi na na yung muhang nao sa so saan man ang kanang
00:19:09merag nabay times put sir na na nasayup ko or hala na na dilimau ang dimension
00:19:17or how do you deal with that okay about all the time na may
00:19:21encounter jud ka na dyan especially kung mag commission portrait ka kay yes no
00:19:26listen jud siya tinuot listen jud siya ang tignik lang ano pasensya lang then
00:19:32patience lang yun ang kinahanglan then um ang charcoal mangod pwede raman ni mo siya
00:19:39maerase actually maerase siya ni mo so pwede siya siya kung naisayup gamay pwede raman ni mo
00:19:45siya ma-modify so just continue focus lang yun sa kung sa'y nasa picture so mulutuhin
00:19:54mong sundun bali so ang depth niya sir mag depende sa place sa shadow
00:20:01polit ta gusto ba oh oh oh oh saak to yes taa naman siya
00:20:04then and that niya yes yung Pepeli kung asa ang dapat ka balupo ka sa asa
00:20:08tapit ang light source ka naaniler
00:20:12u ho Ang pinaka ragtellan
00:20:14o o oh yes because everytsang magod kay basta charcoal is more Michael
00:20:18canada siya mую yn buto riktad amagaw dun
00:20:24So, it's more of an emotion.
00:20:28It's challenging to do it.
00:20:32It's a bit of a bit.
00:20:34But, is it a bit of a black paste or a charcoal pencil?
00:20:38If it's a charcoal, it's a charcoal.
00:20:42Based on my experience as an artist,
00:20:46if you use a pencil,
00:20:48you can delete it as smooth.
00:20:52So, it's a bit of a black paste.
00:20:54So, once you have charcoal,
00:20:56charcoal, you can use it like pencil,
00:20:58it's a bit of a texture.
00:21:02You can delete it,
00:21:04and you can slide it.
00:21:06If you use a charcoal pencil,
00:21:08you can use it.
00:21:10But if you use a pencil,
00:21:12you can use it.
00:21:14If you use a pencil,
00:21:16you can use a charcoal pencil.
00:21:18If you use a charcoal pencil,
00:21:20to select it in the paper,
00:21:21you can use it as much leather Duke.
00:21:22You can use a pencil pencil.
00:21:24But right now,
00:21:26you can use it to go on the way,
00:21:28Yeah, well,
00:21:30we've got an oil painting going on.
00:21:32How much oil painting are Green� peyncribing,
00:21:36For me, it's Parihasra.
00:21:41It's colored. It's just a challenge for the color that you consider.
00:21:47The charcoal is just a challenge for black and white.
00:21:53So, when you look at the depth, when you look at the painting,
00:21:59it's flat and out.
00:22:01It's more like three-dimensional.
00:22:03Palingin siya, round sa tanawal.
00:22:10Input it's oil, it's not with charcoal.
00:22:16So, a preference.
00:22:19So, perfect kaya nyo siya guys.
00:22:22Kanyang mga portrait and oil painting ni Sir Don,
00:22:25perfect kayo niya siya pang gift.
00:22:28Especially, kaduting graduation,
00:22:30Mother's Day,
00:22:32Hapit na Mother's Day, Father's Day, because para mag-good ako lang siguro, I'd rather receive something that's personalized kaysa something makita rin.
00:22:44Of course, mo dawat ko bisagunsa, but mas naganin siya yung connection kung if it's personalized.
00:22:50Not necessarily your face, but if it has your name, which is a good business positioning for you guys.
00:22:59Muna siya ang siguro para na ko that will make you stand out from the rest because when you customize something,
00:23:08muna na, kamuna ang mukha na, although naman gapun mo yung mga competitors, I know, but diha na mo mag-kuana na,
00:23:15diha na mo siguro mo differ sa quality of work, sa customer service, which is munguta na ko ni ma'am,
00:23:22kumusta man, how do you deal with ka ng inquiries, ka ikaw man sa marketing, how did it start,
00:23:30kanyang pag-market ni Mutanan sa manang yung mga process, sa'yo mga journey so far, sa'yo mga observations and challenges?
