sketches from pundaquit and anawangin cove, zambales

Camara and Capones Islands

We joined a group tour to anawangin cove last jan 28 and 29 and it was a beautiful experience. the beach at anawangin cove is very clean, maybe because it had protection against various debris coming in from the open sea, now that i think about it, i cannot remember seeing a single coconut tree in the immediate vicinity were people visiting the place could get to.


my second sketch on that trip, the view was amazing, a big mountain just overlooking pundaquit as the sun is rising, but not captured here on my sketch, see the wind pump on the lower left corner of the sketch, truly the scene is amazing.


for the trip i only brought with me a pen, but as i went around the beach, i found this piece of charcoal and it was hard enough to make a sketch out of it.

i have not sketched in charcoal for a long time and realized how much i missed it

here i am where the silvery sea meets the eyes of the rising sun and the golden hills admire the sky where non virgins walk on grains of sand and pose in front of rock formations, where aetas sound like merry birds and the friendliest animals are dogs. where half the people got drunk last night as the pine tree leaves looked on. where hopefully everybody respected their tents but not others'. where private properties are not really private where the only machine you can hear are the raring of bankas' motors where they call anawangin
