Hello Guys! 🙂
We’re down to the last 5 workshops of the year. Well, I do have a confession to make. Before, I would schedule workshops only 1-2 months in advance but as soon as I found out I was pregnant last summer, I started booking most of the scheds coupled with tiny notes as to how far I will be in my pregnancy and when I’m allowed an not allowed to travel. Â Haha.
We’ve been doing mostly Watercolor & Lettering Workshops throughout the year with a bit of Digitizing sessions every quarter. Â Here are our last 5 schedules:
October 17 – Watercolor Doodles at Fully Booked in Greenbelt 5, 1-pm
October 18 – Abstract Watercolor Workshop, Hey Kessy in Katipunan, 1-5pm
November 8 – Watercolor & Lettering, Fully Booked Alabang, 1-5pm

If ever I win the giveaway, I would choose the Introduction to Watercolor & Brush Lettering workshop. I love lettering and I really want to try it along with watercolor which I am not yet familiar with, though it is something I have been practicing lately. I think this workshop would help me understand more <3
I would like to try the Watercolor Doodles. 🙂 My first workshop was watercolor brush lettering and I enjoyed it so much that I started practicing as much as I can after. Tips I got from that workshop helped me a lot, I think I progressed a bit and I would love to learn more especially in making and establishing my own style in sketching and doodles!
If it were me I would like to join all the courses! 😀 But since we can only choose one I would love to join Watercolor Doodles Workshop on November 14, at Fully Booked Greenbelt 5! I’ve been practicing coloring your downloadable coloring sheets for a while now and doing it with watercolor is an upgrade. Please let me win this workshop giveaway!
I want to join in Watercolor Doodles Workshop on Nov 14. Like you said, I’m familiar with the medium but I’d like to take my watercolor ~*skills*~ beyond brush lettering. I just started brush lettering on my own and now I want to join in workshops to know more about water color as a medium. It’s a big difference if I join in classes 😀
I’d like to join the abstract watercolor workshop on Oct 18. I’m a newbie in watercolor and i practice as much as i could to learn and do more. This workshop will surely help me better since im also a fan of bold, vibrant colors 🙂

exploring the possibilities on how to balance an abstract composition as a beginner. Thanks! ^^,)

You’re so generous!!! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity ☺☺☺I would love to attend any of your workshops because it is a great pleasure to be taught by you. ☺
Always wanted to join but always miss a slot XD ahahah.. so excited (if ever) be part of the November 8 Watercolor and lettering worshop :3
It’s hard to choose because everything’s great! Haha but since I need to choose I will select either the Watercolor Doodles or
Abstract Watercolor Workshop since I’m just a newbie with watercolors and I want to learn the techniques on how to mix colors. Thank you again for creating this give away!
Currently exploring my creative side and hoping to win a slot in your Abstract Watercolor Workshop!!:)
I would like to join the Watercolor Doodles or Digitizing workshop. But I like the Digitizing workshop more. Hope I win, wee! :’)
OMG Tippy! This is amazing and right on time for my birthday. Haha! I’ve been wanting to attend one of your workshops ever since I was still in Cebu. Now that I’m already based in Manila, it’s the budget I’m working on. LOL. If given the chance, I’d love to attend the Watercolor & Brush Lettering workshop. I’m a newbie at watercolor and I simply love all those typography stuff you post. 🙂
If ever I win, I’d join the November 8 session on watercolor and brush coloring because of two things: it’s on my birthday and I just started exploring the watercolor calligraphy world.
I am hoping to win a slot for your Watercolor & Lettering workshop, Ms. Tippy! Watercolor medium and mixing right colors are one of my weaknesses. I only use black pens and fineliners whenever I do letterings. So, I really want to make my works alive and as vibrant and lovely as your works. <3
I hope I will win this time. *cross-fingers*
I have a sketchpad full of doodles that remain to be uncolored, in fear that I might ruin them. That’s why winning a slot for the November 14 slot for Watercolor Doodles would be so helpful!
*Keeping my fingers crossed*

I’d love to join your abstract painting workshop! I’m having difficulties going out of my comfort zone and I know the workshop will help me a lot!
Watercolor and Lettering! Because of course, I promised myself that I will only learn watercolor from Tipsy and Ponggo! It could not be with any other than the best.
If I win I would join Digitizing workshop cos I know it’s gonna make my life easier as an artist XD
If I win, I would like to join the Digitizing Workshop because it’ll be an additional skill that could help me progress more as an artist.
If I win, I would like to join the Watercolor & Lettering or Watercolor Doodles workshop! I hope I would win! <3
Hi~ I’d like to join the Digitizing workshop because I bet it will help me a lot in learning how to incorporate watercolour to my digital illustrations (o^∀^o)
If I win I would like to join the Digitizing Workshop or Watercolor Doodles Workshop. I believe this would improve my current works and it would be a great skill to have.
I’d love to join the Watercolor Doodles workshop! I’ve been a fan of your works and I’d love to be able to learn watercolor from you and apply the techniques I learn into my own works! 🙂
I want to do the abstract! I’m planning on starting a diy project and I want to do something i’ve never done before! i want to just be free to mix colors and not be restrained with particular letters or shapes or images.
I would love to join the Digitizing workshop on November 29! I’ve been doing a little of hand lettering and I will be glad to learn from you how to digitize my works! 🙂
I would love to join the Digitizing workshop on November 29! I’ve been doing a little hand lettering and I will be glad to learn from you how to digitize them! 🙂
I’m really excited to take part in the Watercolor Doodles! Good luck to me! I’ve been experimenting on watercolors when I was a kid, and I realized now that maybe with a little push, I could develop something from it. Cheers to our best selves! Good luck to me!
If I got the chance, I would love to join the Watercolor Doodles workshop 😀 I am an absolute beginner in using watercolor so I would love to learn from you! 🙂
I would love to join the watercolor lesson!
Hi! Given a chance, I would definitely loooove to be part of the Introduction to Watercolor & Brush Lettering. I also love the Digitizing Workshop, but I think it’s best to learn the foundations first. 🙂 Thanks Phoebe Roberto
I’ve just started playing with watercolors lately and I’ve been really in love with it. Lately, I’ve just started playing with curves in Photoshop but I haven’t fully grasped it yet and my friends are telling me that I should try doing it in Illustrator to be able to get a finer end result and so it would really be great if I’d be given a chance to enter the Digitizing workshop. Plus, learning from you whom I’ve looked up to for a long time would be added bonus too. ;A; <3 😀
I would love to learn how to digitize my watercolor works so I’ll go for the digitizing workshop 🙂
