Description: This painting is a tribute to the local market scene and was an entry to the ArtPetron 2009. It tells the story of a semi-civilized Mangyan whom I caught t exting inside our local market. I found her interesting for I am not used to see a Mangyan who's texting a lot. I often see her in that same location carrying her baby, and until now, I haven't figured out why she's always there.

The painting was done using the old master style which I read in a certain book (I forgot the title). It was my first time to basically use an oil paint and I found it hard at first because of the not-so pleasing smell of the linseed oil. But I really enjoyed using oil paint. It dries much longer than acrylic so I had more time mixing the colors and the results are so soft.

I’m still practicing on this medium and if you want to practice with me, I can show you some tutorials on how I've came up with these results. Just put your comments here and I will upload the video as soon as I can.
